2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · CC12 CUS

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which has maintained a clean bill of health across its recent inspections, including a defect-free pass on 2025-11-25. The absence of recurring advisories or chronic failures over the last several years suggests a stable mechanical condition, with previous failures in 2023 and 2024 being resolved rapidly to achieve passing certificates. With 192,635 recorded miles, the vehicle has covered approximately 14,818 miles per year, a high annual accumulation rate for a luxury SUV of this vintage. This usage profile indicates a life spent primarily on long-distance journeys, which generally places less stress on the engine than urban stop-start cycles but accelerates the wear on high-load consumables, including suspension bushings, drivetrain linkages, and braking systems. Given the high mileage, a test drive should focus on the integrity of the air suspension system and the precision of the steering. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or ball joints that may not yet have reached a failure threshold for an MOT test. Pay close attention to the vehicle's leveling process and ensure there is no sagging or excessive lean after the engine is turned off. Evaluate the drivetrain for smoothness under load, checking for any shuddering or hesitation during gear changes. The brake pedal should be firm and free from judder, and the vehicle must track straight under heavy braking to ensure the calipers are not binding and the discs remain true. While the MOT history is clean, the sheer mileage necessitates a physical verification of the underbody for any signs of oil misting or seepage from the engine and transmission seals.
