2017 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · FL11 FAT

This 2017 Range Rover presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trajectory, having passed every MOT test without a single defect recorded across five consecutive examinations. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 53,548 miles returned a completely clean bill of health, indicating that the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards across brakes, suspension, emissions, lighting, and structural integrity at that point. The absence of advisories or failures throughout the recorded history suggests consistent upkeep and no developing mechanical concerns over the past four years. The mileage accumulation tells a story of light, steady use. From 31,780 miles in February 2022 to 53,548 miles in January 2026, the vehicle has covered roughly 21,768 miles over four years, averaging approximately 5,442 miles annually. This is notably low for a Range Rover of this age, which typically sees higher annual distances. The yearly increments have varied between roughly 3,000 and 7,500 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps that might indicate a dormant period or a recently wound-back odometer. The progression appears genuine and consistent with a vehicle used for occasional rather than daily duties. A clean MOT record is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a thorough physical inspection, particularly on a complex vehicle of this type. Low annual mileages can mask issues that arise from prolonged standing rather than use. The air suspension system should be checked thoroughly for leaks, compressor function, and correct ride height operation, as these components can deteriorate regardless of mileage. Brake discs and calipers merit close examination for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit for extended periods between journeys, even if the pads and discs passed their last test. The underside and structural mounting points should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension turrets, where moisture ingress can develop unnoticed. The electronic architecture of this generation Range Rover warrants attention beyond the MOT scope. A pre-purchase inspection should include a full diagnostic scan of the chassis, powertrain, and body control modules to identify any stored fault codes that would not trigger an MOT failure. Tyre condition and age should be verified, as rubber degrades with time as well as tread wear. Given the vehicle's low-mileage profile, fluid service history becomes critical; confirm that coolant, brake fluid, differential oil, and transmission fluid have been replaced on time-based intervals rather than mileage alone. The MOT record confirms the vehicle was roadworthy at each test, but the gaps between those tests are where a careful buyer must look.
