2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · CK12 KMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 9 June 2023 at 161,812 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum legal safety requirements without the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in this model. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between May 2019 and June 2023, the car covered 40,850 miles, showing a steady rate of use. A notable gap in usage occurred between November 2020 and May 2021, where only 1,152 miles were recorded, but the subsequent jump of 14,232 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests indicates a return to normal annual mileage patterns. Despite the clean testing record, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components that are common to the Range Rover Sport platform. A buyer should scrutinise the air suspension system for signs of sagging or perished bellows, as these often fail without triggering an MOT advisory. Given the 161,000-mile mark, checking for play in the drivetrain, control arm bushings, and potential corrosion on the rear chassis and exhaust mounting is essential.
