2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · MR05 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent recorded test in April 2022 at 71,818 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for minor equipment issues including the washer system and a tyre defect. Since there are no recorded tests for the past four years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is technically unverified, which poses a significant risk regarding its present mechanical condition. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,818 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. The usage pattern shows a consistent gap of roughly 6,000 miles between the 2020 and 2021 tests, and another 6,000 miles leading into the 2022 inspection. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and corrosion on exposed braking surfaces. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the tyres and wheel assemblies, as the record shows recurring issues with the nearside rear tyre in both 2021 and 2022. The failure of the fuel cap sealing device in 2021 suggests a lack of attention to minor hardware until they fail. Given the four-year gap since the last MOT, a thorough physical evaluation is required to check for seized calipers, perished suspension bushes, and air suspension system leaks, all of which are common failure points on low-mileage Range Rovers that sit for extended periods.
