2013 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · CH56 JAY

The most recent MOT test on September 4, 2025, confirms this Range Rover passed without any defects recorded, placing it in a stable roadworthy condition at 111,686 miles. The absence of advisories or repeated failures across the last four tests suggests no systematic neglect or recurring mechanical issues. However, the 2023 test cycle—spanning just three days between a failure and a subsequent pass—stands out as an anomaly rather than a trend, likely due to a minor oversight rather than a persistent problem. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, the lack of structural or drivetrain advisories is notable, though the final pass date remains over eight months old, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since. The mileage progression of approximately 8,591 miles annually is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this class and age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2023 failure and pass within days of each other may indicate a brief period of uncertainty. The most recent test in 2025 aligns with the standard three-year MOT interval, but given the vehicle’s age, a pre-purchase inspection would be prudent to verify components like suspension integrity and corrosion, which are not always captured in a basic MOT. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and track rod ends—common wear items for this model at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has seen varied terrain. Corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, is another critical area; the MOT does not assess structural integrity beyond visible defects, so a thorough examination is essential. The absence of advisories on emissions or exhaust suggests the catalytic converter and related components remain functional, though a smoke test or visual inspection would confirm no leaks. Finally, the final drive and transfer case, given the vehicle’s off-road heritage, should be checked for fluid leaks or unusual noise, as these are not routinely tested in an MOT.
