2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · PGZ 5

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-01 at 63,509 miles confirms a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five years, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the absence of any advisories does not preclude undocumented wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints, which often fail silently. The lack of recurring faults implies no obvious neglect, but the test intervals align with the legal minimum rather than a proactive maintenance schedule. Buyers should treat this as a baseline and verify recent service history beyond the MOT, as the test does not cover pre-existing issues or components not routinely inspected. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,000 miles annually without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The most notable gap is between the 2022-02-02 test (36,767 miles) and the 2022-08-11 test (43,006 miles), a 6,239-mile interval over six months—unusually long for a vehicle of this class, which could suggest either light usage or a period of storage. The subsequent intervals (2023-08-09 to 2024-10-01) average around 4,000 miles per year, a more reasonable rate for a luxury SUV. However, the absence of any advisories during these longer intervals does not rule out deferred maintenance, particularly in areas prone to corrosion or wear, such as wheel bearings or exhaust systems. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components not routinely tested—such as the suspension’s rubber bushes (especially at the track arms and subframe mounts), which degrade progressively and may exhibit cracks or excessive play. The drivetrain, including the transfer case and differential, warrants scrutiny for fluid leaks or unusual noises, as these are not MOT-tested but critical for longevity. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, particularly if the vehicle has seen off-road use or exposure to salt. The brake system, while passed, should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as these can develop between tests. Finally, verify the condition of the cooling system and differential fluid—both are not MOT-checked but are essential for preventing catastrophic failure. The absence of advisories does not equate to flawless condition; a thorough mechanical assessment is advised.
