2012 LAND ROVER X1 XDRIVE18D M SPORT2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 164,018 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This trend of clean results across multiple years suggests that the previous owners have addressed mechanical issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern remains remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 134,524 miles and the September 2024 test at 158,703 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles, followed by another 5,300 miles leading up to the January 2026 test. This regular use suggests typical motorway mileage rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components in vehicles. While the MOT record is devoid of recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components common to this age and model. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these often degrade significantly after 150,000 miles. Given the vehicle's age, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the exhaust system is vital, as the MOT only flags surface rust once it has reached a structural threshold.
