2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · AB10 STU

The Range Rover Sport presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 August 2025 at 96,631 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test cycle shows a fail on 20 August 2025 at 96,620 miles with no defects listed, followed nine days later by a clean pass at 96,631 miles; this suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, and the latest certificate carries no advisories. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 2012 vehicle. The record shows 65,088 miles in September 2021, 72,476 in August 2022, 88,128 in September 2023, then a near-flat 96,631 by August 2025. Annual averages run near 6,900 miles, though the 2023 to 2025 span added only around 8,500 miles across two years, implying lighter recent use. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 entries leaves 2024 untested in this data, a minor gap worth clarifying with the seller. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity at any point. The absence of advisories across five tests indicates prior owners addressed wear before each examination or the car saw gentle running. A clean sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical checks given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and Land Rover's known chassis and suspension vulnerabilities. Inspect the underbody for structural rust and check front lower arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and rear coil springs for age-related cracking. Verify brake calipers are free and discs show even wear. Confirm the 2025 fail with no recorded defect was a paperwork retest, not a concealed fault, by reviewing the DVSA failure notice if available.
