2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · FV62 LLD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The final MOT test conducted on 27 October 2023 at 150,780 miles passed without recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred on 31 January 2023 at 142,445 miles, the subsequent pass just two months later suggests the issue was identified and rectified quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,770 miles per year. Between February 2021 (109,495 miles) and January 2022 (126,408 miles), the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year, showing a period of high intensity. However, the rate slowed significantly in the following years, with only 8,372 miles recorded between the 2022 and early 2023 tests. Given that the last record is now over two years old, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection, which increases the risk of undetected component wear or fluid degradation. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the air suspension system and lower control arms, as these are common failure points on Range Rover Sports with 150,000 miles. The history does not show recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain and engine seals for leaks. Since the last MOT is significantly outdated, a professional assessment of brake calipers and tyre tread depth is essential to ensure no new faults have developed since the 2023 test.
