2010 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · 1 NXR

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 May 2025 at 135,378 miles with zero defects recorded. This indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The progression from the previous tests shows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories or defects, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition. The annual mileage of roughly 8,461 miles aligns with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2021 test at 118,606 miles and the December 2022 test at 123,975 miles, the vehicle covered 5,369 miles over thirteen months. From December 2022 to May 2024, mileage increased by 4,282 miles over seventeen months, before rising by 7,121 miles in the subsequent twelve months leading to the May 2025 test. This recent uptick in usage rate suggests the vehicle has seen more regular, sustained driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. A notable anomaly exists in the December 2022 entries; the vehicle failed the test on 30 November at 123,945 miles yet passed just six days later on 6 December at 123,975 miles with no defects recorded. This discrepancy likely indicates an abandoned initial test or a procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault requiring repair. The MOT record lacks recurring mechanical faults, meaning no specific deteriorating trend requires immediate attention. However, a vehicle of this age and mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of common structural and mechanical vulnerabilities. A buyer should closely examine the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a frequent issue on older models that MOT tests do not always fully capture. Inspect the condition of the air suspension components, coil springs, and suspension bushes for wear, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. While the emissions passed cleanly in May 2025, verifying the exhaust system for leaks and assessing the condition of the drivetrain will confirm whether the recent increase in mileage has accelerated consumable wear.
