2023 Land Rover Range Rover HSE Phev Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · 38 AB

The HSE PHEV is officially capable of around 80 mpg on the WLTP combined cycle when the battery is regularly charged, but real-world economy drops sharply if the vehicle is run without charging, often settling in the 25-35 mpg bracket. Road tax for a PHEV of this value typically falls into the higher bands; this particular vehicle sits in a £600+ VED band given its list price when new, though PHEVs avoid the diesel/petrol supplement. Insurance is likely to be group 50 or higher given the value and performance, which can easily exceed £1,500 per year for a typical UK driver. Estimated annual running costs sit around £3,000-£4,200 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance for a vehicle of this profile, though heavy-mileage examples like this one may push higher.

Given the single MOT pass with no recorded defects, there is no specific failure pattern from the history to flag, but you should still inspect items commonly raised on this model. Examine the brake pads and discs closely — the model aggregate data lists brake pad wear as the top MOT failure reason, and with 49,354 miles covered, expect significant wear on the front axle. Check the 12V auxiliary battery, PHEV high-voltage battery state of health via diagnostic equipment, charging cable condition, and ensure all electric drive modes engage correctly. Inspect the air suspension system for any sagging at the rear (a known Range Rover weak point), test the infotainment and Terrain Response system, and look for coolant leaks from the PHEV thermal management system. Finally, verify the tyre size matches Range Rover specification and that all four tyres have even wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension issues.
