AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 75,317 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a current road‑worthiness status of passed. Earlier failures in 2025 (front brake disc significantly worn and fuel‑tank guard poor) and in 2023 (multiple brake‑disc and pad wear items) have been remedied, yet the recurring appearance of front‑disc wear across successive tests suggests a persistent, albeit managed, brake‑wear trend rather than a deteriorating structural issue. Mileage has risen from 19,674 miles in March 2016 to 75,317 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year. The incremental increases between each annual test show no abrupt spikes, reinforcing the impression of light, consistent use rather than periods of intensive mileage accumulation. Such low‑average mileage for a 2013 model typically reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on major components, though it does not eliminate the need for periodic inspection of wear items. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system, confirming that front brake discs have been resurfaced or replaced and that pads are above the wear‑indicator threshold. Inspection of the fuel‑tank guard for corrosion or damage is advisable, given its noted poor condition in the 2025 failure. The brake‑pipe corrosion recorded in 2017 and 2019 warrants a visual check for rust or grease buildup on both rear pipes. Tyre tread, particularly the nearside rear tyre flagged close to the legal limit in 2024, should be measured for uniform wear, and the rear fog‑lamp lens identified as defective in 2020 should be examined for clarity and proper sealing. Finally, a cursory review of suspension bushes and any signs of structural rust will confirm that the vehicle’s low mileage has not concealed hidden deterioration.

Our Verdict

Exercise caution due to a recurring patt

Prioritise a thorough check of the braking system. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with worn and pitted brake discs and thin pads across three consecutive years, suggesting these components are under significant stress or are replaced only when failure is imminent. Verify that the repairs following the September 2025 failure were carried out to a professional standard.

Request full service records to confirm that the 2993cc diesel engine has been serviced at the correct intervals. Given the age of the vehicle, check for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine variant that are not captured in MOT data.

Running costs for this 3.0L diesel will be high. You should expect significant annual expenditure on fuel and a high insurance group typical for a luxury SUV of this size. Tax will be based on the 2013 CO2 emissions for this engine size, which is generally expensive.

Maintenance costs are likely to be the largest variable. With a model-wide tendency for suspension arm and brake pipe failures, and this specific vehicle's history of brake wear, you should budget for premium parts and specialised labour. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to be substantial.

Carefully inspect the front and rear brake discs and pads. The vehicle has a history of 'worn, pitted or scored' discs and pads 'wearing thin' (recorded in 2023, 2024, and 2025), so ensure the current components are not nearing the end of their life again. Check the fuel tank guard, which was recorded as being in poor condition in September 2025, to ensure it has been properly replaced or repaired.

Additionally, inspect the suspension arms and brake pipes. While these have not caused failures for this specific vehicle, they are among the top failure reasons for this model across 136,540 analysed vehicles. Look for perished rubber bushings or signs of corrosion on the brake lines.

This red 2013 Range Rover Sport has recorded 75,317 miles, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a consistent trend of brake wear, with failures and advisories appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in September 2025 after failing on brake discs and a fuel tank guard.

This model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with common failure points including suspension arms and brake pipes.
