2012 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · DF62 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 8 December 2025—just five months ago—confirmed full compliance with all roadworthiness standards at 128,078 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a consistent pattern over the past five annual tests, all passing without fail. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any warnings means there is no documented history of pre-existing issues requiring attention. The most recent test’s clean pass indicates the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, but the absence of any advisories also means there is no evidence of proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,300 miles annually, averaging just under 9,000 miles per year over the past four years—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age and type. There are no significant gaps in the record, and the mileage increments are uniform, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable observation is the duplicate entry for December 2022, where both a pass and a fail are listed at the same mileage, though this anomaly does not affect the overall trend. This consistency in mileage implies predictable wear on consumable components, but it also means there is no evidence of aggressive driving or extreme conditions that might accelerate structural degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven sagging, fluid leaks, or excessive play, as these are not tested during an MOT but directly impact ride quality and handling. Brake systems, while not flagged in the record, warrant close scrutiny: the lack of advisories does not preclude issues such as warped discs, glazed linings, or binding calipers, which can develop without causing immediate MOT failures. Structural integrity is another critical area; despite no documented corrosion advisories, a full underbody check is essential, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, where hidden rust can compromise safety without being visible from routine inspections. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions tests do not detect minor failures that could lead to more serious issues over time.
