2022 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Auto 4.4L Petrol · 11 XB

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 28 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the lack of any failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a level that meets the statutory safety and emissions standards, and there is no indication of a deteriorating trend in its mechanical condition. At 47,951 miles recorded in September 2026, the Range Rover Autobiography averages just under 12,000 miles per year over its four‑year life. This annual usage sits comfortably within the typical range for a premium SUV of this age, implying that the drivetrain, suspension and braking components have not been subjected to excessive mileage stress. The mileage figure does not reveal any large gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, but the relatively modest total mileage for a four‑year‑old vehicle could also indicate that it has spent significant time standing, which can introduce its own set of age‑related concerns. Given the clean MOT record and moderate mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or bulges and verify tread depth; even with low mileage, tyres can perish after six to eight years, so check the DOT code for the date of manufacture. Inspect the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on the terminals and assess its state of charge, as batteries in vehicles that sit for extended periods often lose capacity. Look for any signs of fluid leakage around the engine bay, under the chassis and at the rear axle, and confirm that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid have been changed in line with the manufacturer’s service intervals – time‑based replacement is advisable even if mileage is low. Finally, scrutinise the suspension and braking systems for early signs of wear that are not captured by an MOT. Push down on each corner of the vehicle to feel for excessive bounce, which could indicate worn coil springs or deteriorating bushings. Rotate the wheels and listen for clunks or squeaks that may point to loose suspension links or worn anti‑roll bar mounts. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and operate the brakes at low speed to detect any shudder or pulsation that could signal binding calipers or thinning pads. A thorough visual inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion or cracked manifolds, and a review of the service book for documented oil changes, tyre rotations and any dealer‑performed updates, will round out a comprehensive pre‑purchase evaluation.
