2017 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · 6 NAA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-23 resulted in a rare double entry—one pass followed immediately by a fail—before ultimately passing again. This anomaly, combined with the clean history since 2021, suggests a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent failures in critical systems like suspension, brakes, or emissions. However, the double-testing period warrants scrutiny of whether this was due to administrative error or an undocumented mechanical concern. Given the lack of faults in prior years, the pattern leans towards routine rather than urgent attention. The recorded mileage of 57,648 miles over nine years averages approximately 6,405 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no obvious gaps in service intervals, though the MOT record does not provide service history—only test dates. The most notable mileage jump occurs between the 2021 and 2023 tests, where the vehicle accumulated roughly 15,000 miles in under two years, suggesting either increased usage or a period of active ownership. The consistency of passing tests despite this mileage suggests the vehicle was maintained adequately during this phase. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of advisories does not preclude wear in these areas, and the Range Rover’s off-road heritage may have subjected them to greater stress. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, though the clean MOT history reduces the likelihood of severe failure. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is another critical area—even if not flagged in past tests, prolonged exposure to UK conditions could have accelerated deterioration. Finally, the double MOT test in 2025 hints at potential oversight; verifying the vehicle’s service records for alignment, fluid changes, and exhaust system integrity would provide further reassurance.
