2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · CL56 TON

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests, conducted just four months ago on 16 March 2026, reveal a clean record with no defects or advisories recorded despite two separate tests at the same mileage (40,615). This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks without fail, though the duplicate test date raises minor curiosity—potentially a retest after a minor administrative or paperwork oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding MOT in October 2024 also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past two years. There is no evidence of recurring faults or worsening conditions in the official record, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 40,615 miles over eight years—approximately 5,077 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and type, typically averaging closer to 10,000–12,000 miles per year. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 3,500–4,000 miles between each MOT, which aligns with standard usage patterns. However, the prolonged periods without significant mileage accumulation could imply extended periods of storage, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as suspension seal deterioration or brake fluid degradation. The lack of advisories or defects does not confirm proactive servicing, but the low mileage mitigates some risks associated with high-mileage wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to degradation even with low mileage if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been used off-road or in wet conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety-critical components. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are common in older Land Rover models, even with low mileage.
