2018 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · 57 SJ

The 2018 Range Rover presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2024 at 50,099 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 29 November 2023 at 47,441 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 November 2023 at 47,394 miles, which the DVSA record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass two days later. Mileage accumulation is modest for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 35,218 miles at the 23 November 2021 test, rising to 40,079 by 1 December 2022, then 47,441 by 29 November 2023, and 50,099 by December 2024. That equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year, confirming light use. The two-year gap between the 2021 and 2022 entries is the longest interval present, though both tests passed without advisories, so no neglect is evidenced in the data. With five consecutive tests showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the history implies conscientious upkeep by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and suspension mounts, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage does not rule out latent corrosion from standing periods. The 2023 failure with no recorded defect warrants a check of the original test station paperwork to confirm it was not a suppressed mechanical item. Given the clean advisory profile and low annual mileage, serious mechanical risk appears low. Verify service history matches the odometer, and confirm the 27 November 2023 failure reason directly with DVSA before purchase.
