2013 Land Rover R Rover Sport HSE Dynam SDV6 A 3.0L Heavy oil · HJ13 XUO

The vehicle presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 06 April 2024 at 139,817 miles, passed with zero defects. A second test on the same day at 139,732 miles also passed cleanly. This clean sweep across the latest inspection indicates no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at the time of testing. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of consistent use. Between the March 2022 test at 116,129 miles and the April 2024 test at 139,817 miles, the vehicle covered 23,688 miles in just over two years, averaging roughly 11,844 miles annually. This sits comfortably within the typical 10,755 miles per year expected for a 13-year-old vehicle. No suspicious gaps or sudden drops appear in the record, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of dormancy. Buyers should note that the entire MOT history, stretching back to March 2020 at 102,603 miles, shows a flawless record with no advisories or failures. That is exceptionally rare for a vehicle of this age and type. While this is a strong positive indicator, it does not replace a thorough physical inspection. The Range Rover Sport SDV6 is known for suspension air compressor failures, binding rear brake calipers, and corrosion on subframes and suspension arms, particularly around mounting points and bushings. A prospective buyer should inspect the underside for structural rust, check that the air suspension operates correctly at all ride heights, and verify that the exhaust system is free from leaks or excessive corrosion. The powertrain itself appears sound based on the emissions and mechanical checks embedded in each clean MOT. Still, a test drive should focus on gearbox smoothness during upshifts and downshifts, any drivetrain vibrations under load, and whether the engine idles without hesitation or misfire. Given the clean record, the risk of hidden major defects is lower than average, but the complexity of this vehicle demands a specialist inspection before purchase.
