2013 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · AU13 AKH

The vehicle has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between October 2021 and March 2026. The most recent MOT, passed on 17 March 2026 at 94,156 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories that would suggest a worsening trend in maintenance. However, the absence of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over the past three years. There are no significant gaps in service intervals—between the 2023 and 2024 tests, the vehicle accumulated just 5,465 miles in 12 months, while the 2024 to 2025 interval saw 1,456 miles covered in 14 months. The most notable mileage jump occurred between the 2021 and 2023 tests, where the vehicle covered 1,164 miles in just 19 months, though this remains within reasonable bounds for a vehicle of this age. The lack of extended periods of inactivity reduces the risk of neglected fluid degradation or seized components, but it does not eliminate the need for a professional assessment of wear items. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not directly tested during MOTs. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be closely examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are critical to handling and safety. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher mileage intervals. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, should be assessed for corrosion, as Land Rover models of this era are prone to rust-related failures. Finally, fluid levels (brakes, power steering, differential, and coolant) should be checked, as prolonged use without servicing can lead to degradation or leaks. While the MOT history is clean, these areas are not automatically exempt from deterioration.
