AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. While the car passed with clean sheets between 2022 and 2024, the April 2025 test at 77,398 miles revealed multiple tyre defects and a persistent oil leak. The trend has moved from a perfect record to one requiring immediate attention, suggesting that the owner may be neglecting consumable items until they fail. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage with a 4,400-mile gap between March 2023 and May 2024, and a further 4,298 miles between the May 2024 and April 2025 tests. This low mileage often reduces wear on the engine components but can lead to degradation of rubber seals and hoses due to sitting, which aligns with the recurring oil leak entries noted in the history. A buyer must address the recurring oil leak that first appeared in January 2022 and reappeared in 2025. Although the tester noted it was not excessive, the persistence over three years suggests a weeping gasket or seal failure that requires a pressure test to prevent escalation. The 2025 report also flagged three tyres with uneven wear on the inner edges, which typically points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be inspected to avoid premature replacement of new rubber.

Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to recent tyre and oil leak issues. While the mileage is relatively low for the age, the recent MOT history suggests a shift in maintenance patterns.

When inspecting this specific vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the tyre condition and suspension components. The 2025 MOT highlighted three tyres worn close to the legal limit, which may indicate alignment issues or simply a need for immediate replacement. Ensure all four tyres are of a matching premium brand to avoid further issues with the heavy 4.4L diesel drivetrain.

Negotiate based on the recorded oil leak. Although the 2025 report describes it as 'not excessive', it is a recurring theme, having also appeared in the January 2022 MOT. Ask for evidence of any recent repairs related to seals or gaskets. Given the model's aggregate failure data, specifically regarding suspension arms, a professional inspection of the chassis and suspension linkage is highly recommended before committing to a purchase.

Running this 4367cc diesel Range Rover will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption due to the engine size and vehicle weight, alongside a high insurance group typical for luxury SUVs. Tax bands for this engine capacity are generally at the top tier.

Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and oil leaks, and the aggregate data for this model highlights suspension arms and headlamps as common failure points. Budget significantly for both routine servicing and potential heavy-duty repairs to the air suspension or engine components.

Focus heavily on the tyres and wheels. The 2025 MOT specifically noted nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This could suggest an underlying issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry.

Secondly, investigate the oil leak. This was noted in both the April 2025 and January 2022 MOTs. You should check the engine bay for signs of weeping around gaskets and look under the vehicle for fresh oil spots. Finally, given that suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data, check for any knocks or excessive movement in the front end during a test drive.

This 2013 white Land Rover Range Rover features a large 4.4L diesel engine and has covered 77,398 miles as of April 2025. While it enjoyed several years of defect-free MOTs between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in 2025 recorded multiple tyre issues and an oil leak. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,842 miles per year, which is a key factor to consider.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.4% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving suspension arms, tyres, and headlamps.
