LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VOGUE SDV8 AUTO2023 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 02 October 2022 at 65,149 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just one month prior on 06 September 2022 at 65,044 miles, though the lack of specific defect details for that failure suggests either an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the successful re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. A gap of 15,534 miles exists between the November 2020 test at 49,515 miles and the October 2022 test, indicating a steady rate of use. However, as the last recorded MOT was in October 2022, the vehicle has now operated for nearly four years without an official roadworthiness check. This significant lapse means the current state of the braking system, suspension components, and structural integrity remains unverified by the DVSA. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension system and associated bushings, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber perish and perished seals when left stationary. Given the time elapsed since the last test, a check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized caliper pistons is essential. The SDV8 engine should be monitored for any fluid leaks that may have developed during long periods of inactivity, as the MOT record does not provide insight into mechanical maintenance or service history.
