2023 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Auto 4.4L Petrol · 21 R

With only a single MOT test on file dated 21 January 2026 and a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded, the available roadworthiness history for this 2023 Range Rover Autobiography is minimal. The vehicle became eligible for its first MOT in January 2026, so this single pass represents the earliest possible statutory snapshot rather than an established long-term pattern. There is no prior failure data or recurring advisory history against which to gauge deterioration of components such as suspension, braking or underbody corrosion, which means the buyer must form their judgement primarily from a physical inspection rather than from any longitudinal DVSA evidence. The recorded mileage of 13,490 miles against a three-year age equates to roughly 4,497 miles per year, a notably low annual accumulation for a luxury SUV of this type. Such low mileage can reflect gentle use, predominantly short journeys, or extended periods of standing between drives. Mechanically, light use on this platform raises specific points worth scrutinising: brake discs and pads can develop surface corrosion from infrequent use, leading to judder or scraping on first application; the diesel or petrol powertrain, depending on variant, benefits from being brought up to full operating temperature regularly to clear moisture from the oil and exhaust; and the air suspension components, accumulators and valve block on the Autobiography specification are particularly susceptible to seal deterioration and air leaks when the vehicle is left static for prolonged periods. Conversely, the high-cost consumables have experienced very little wear, which is a neutral-to-positive factor. On a physical inspection, particular attention should be paid to the air suspension system, including any warning messages on the infotainment screen relating to ride height, the condition of the air springs for cracking or dusting, and whether the vehicle settles overnight or after being parked for a few hours. The brake calipers, particularly on a heavy SUV of this class, can bind; check for any pulling under gentle braking and uneven pad deposition on the discs. The large diameter alloy wheels and their tyres should be examined for kerb damage and for sidewall cracking from age, given the low mileage, and the underbody, including the subframe mounting points and brake pipe runs, should be inspected for early corrosion despite the vehicle's youth, especially around the rear suspension links and exhaust hangers. Finally, a thorough test drive should include driving over broken road surfaces to listen for any clonks from the front suspension upper and lower wishbones, anti-roll bar drop links and front radius arms, all known wear items on this platform. Steering should be checked for any vagueness, droning or vibration through the wheel at speed, which could indicate propshaft imbalance or front suspension bush wear. The eight-speed automatic transmission should shift smoothly without hesitation or flare between ratios, and the four-wheel-drive system should engage cleanly on loose surfaces if accessible. Given the absence of MOT advisory history, there is no component-specific deterioration pattern to target, so the inspection should concentrate on the symptoms typical of low-mileage luxury SUVs rather than on parts known to have already triggered advisories on this particular vehicle.
