2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · D12 NCG

This Land Rover Range Rover has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five tests, with the most recent inspection on 17 July 2025—just over a year ago at 79,800 miles. The absence of any advisories or defects in any of the five tests suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been formally recorded, though this does not preclude hidden or deferred maintenance. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions between tests. However, the lack of advisories in prior years also means there is no historical data to confirm whether minor or latent faults have been addressed by previous owners. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,200 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in service intervals, though the 2023 test occurred nearly three months earlier than the usual annual cycle (26 April 2023 vs. the 2022 and 2024 tests in September). This slight deviation could indicate either an early renewal or a temporary lapse in scheduling, but it does not raise immediate concern. The recorded mileage remains well within expected parameters for a 13-year-old vehicle, though the lack of service records beyond MOTs means critical maintenance—such as differential fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or suspension bush replacements—cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension system, particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are often deferred until failure. Brake calipers and discs, while not flagged in tests, may exhibit uneven thickness or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or stored in damp conditions. Structural integrity is another critical area; the underbody, wheel arches, and sills should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and wheel housings, where salt ingress is common. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as these are often overlooked until they compromise emissions or structural integrity. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, and a professional inspection is essential to confirm their condition.
