The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 39,847 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, and the preceding test on 14 November 2024 at 37,035 miles also passed without fail. This pattern of consecutive clean MOT results suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently, at least in terms of meeting statutory inspection thresholds. However, the gap between tests—just six months—is slightly shorter than the standard 12-month interval, which could indicate either proactive owner vigilance or a deliberate effort to avoid potential issues slipping through. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in either test implies no obvious mechanical trends, though this does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure levels. The recorded mileage of 39,847 miles over roughly five years—approximately 7,969 miles annually—aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no significant mileage jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests to suggest neglect or irregular service patterns. The 2,812 miles accumulated between the November 2024 and May 2025 tests is steady and reasonable, though the shorter-than-usual interval between tests may hint at the owner prioritising early checks rather than waiting for the standard deadline. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that aren’t routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are critical for handling and safety but often only become apparent through a thorough mechanical examination. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds or in mixed conditions, as binding or uneven wear can develop without MOT detection. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as Land Rover models are prone to structural rust in these areas. Finally, the MHEV hybrid system’s battery and wiring should be assessed for any signs of degradation or fluid leaks, as these are less visible but can pose long-term reliability risks.
