2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · FN62 GCZ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 September 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without any noted mechanical failures or emerging wear issues. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition without the typical degradation often seen in luxury SUVs of this vintage. With a recorded mileage of 105,365 miles over a fourteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,526 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle, avoiding the extreme wear associated with high-mileage motorway use or the deterioration caused by prolonged periods of standing. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage indicates that while major consumables will be nearing the end of their natural life cycles, the drivetrain and chassis have not been subjected to excessive stress. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that may not be captured during a standard test. It is critical to evaluate the condition of the air suspension system, listening for any compressor over-activity or observing if the vehicle sags after being parked overnight. The buyer should also inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can lose structural integrity over time regardless of tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has spent significant time stationary between journeys. Finally, the prospective buyer must verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed. This includes checking for evidence of transmission fluid changes, differential oil replacements, and coolant flushes, as these fluids degrade over time regardless of mileage. The health of the 12V battery should be tested, as these vehicles are highly sensitive to voltage drops which can trigger spurious electronic faults. A thorough check of the service book stamps will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's intervals, ensuring the long-term reliability of the engine and drivetrain.
