2017 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · PLZ 4

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 October 2025 with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records to 2020, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with six consecutive years of clean passes and a total absence of advisories. This is an uncommon result for a vehicle of this age and suggests that the car has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very limited operational stress. With a recorded mileage of 37,788 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,200 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the internal engine components, gearbox, and drivetrain, it also indicates that the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which presents a different set of mechanical risks compared to a high-mileage example. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the primary focus of a physical inspection should be on components that degrade over time regardless of mileage. You must carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing, ozone cracking, or flat-spotting, as tyres often age out before the tread wears down. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur when a vehicle sits for long periods. The 12V battery should be tested for health and charging efficiency, as low-usage luxury vehicles are prone to parasitic drain and battery failure. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and other critical fluids have been replaced based on time intervals rather than mileage alone. Engine oil and coolant degrade chemically over time, and a lack of regular changes can lead to internal sludge or corrosion. During the test drive, pay close attention to the air suspension for any sluggishness in lifting or lowering and listen for any knocks from the suspension bushes that may have dried out. Confirm that all electronic systems are functioning correctly, as prolonged inactivity can sometimes lead to intermittent electrical faults in complex vehicle architectures.
