2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · FN12 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-02-27 at 149,808 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-02-11 at 149,741 miles showed a failure, though no defects were listed. This suggests a possible administrative error or minor technical issue resolved between tests. The absence of recorded defects in subsequent MOTs since 2023 indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears intact, but the expired MOT status as of 2026-07-17 raises immediate compliance concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,700 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 13,157-mile span between the 2022-01-12 test (133,618 miles) and 2023-01-03 test (137,468 miles), reflecting consistent annual usage. The 2024-01-23 test at 143,065 miles and 2025-02-27 test at 149,808 miles show steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The lack of defects in these tests suggests no significant wear on critical systems, though the vehicle’s age necessitates closer scrutiny of aging components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which are common wear items on high-mileage Land Rovers. The failed 2025 MOT, though unexplained, warrants verification of any unresolved issues, particularly in the braking system or exhaust. Corrosion in the underbody, especially around the chassis and exhaust mounting points, should be checked, as well as the condition of brake discs and calipers. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude hidden faults, so a professional mechanical inspection is strongly advised before purchase.
