2019 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · C7 MST

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-10 at 25,224 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass history across all four tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been subject to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints. The stable pass record indicates no obvious pattern of neglect, but the buyer should verify whether critical components like brake calipers, steering linkages, or subframe mounts have been serviced beyond basic MOT compliance. The recorded mileage of 25,224 miles over seven years—approximately 3,603 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Range Rover’s typical usage patterns. The gaps between tests are consistent with annual servicing, but the stagnant mileage raises questions about storage conditions or limited use, which could accelerate wear in areas prone to static stress, such as suspension seals or battery health. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle accumulated 6,459 miles in just over a year, suggesting a period of increased usage that may have introduced higher wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components not routinely tested under standard MOT protocols. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in high-mileage luxury SUVs. Binding rear brakes, which often develop over time due to caliper sticking or rotor warping, warrant close scrutiny, alongside the condition of the subframe and sills for corrosion, given the vehicle’s exposure to varying weather conditions. The battery and alternator should also be checked for signs of age-related degradation, as prolonged periods of inactivity can compromise electrical reliability. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these areas demand thorough verification to ensure they align with the vehicle’s actual condition.
