2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · LO63 ABF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-03-10 at 85,279 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. However, prior tests reveal inconsistencies: a failed MOT on 2024-04-23 at 81,408 miles and a subsequent pass on the same date, alongside a failed test on 2023-04-26 at 79,169 miles and a pass two days later at 79,170 miles. These repeated failures without recorded defects suggest potential issues with testing accuracy or unresolved minor faults that were later rectified. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle is currently safe to drive, but the prior instability warrants scrutiny. The mileage of 85,279 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 6,560 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for the model. Notable gaps exist between tests: from 2023-04-29 (79,170 miles) to 2024-04-23 (81,408 miles), the vehicle accrued 2,238 miles in 382 days, followed by 3,871 miles in 322 days to reach 85,279 miles. This pattern suggests intermittent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. The sparse defect records in the MOT history limit insight into long-term wear, but the lack of major issues in the latest test is reassuring. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as inconsistent MOT results may indicate unresolved alignment or damping problems. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, requires scrutiny given the repeated failures, even without recorded defects. Corrosion in underbody components and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age. The absence of structural integrity issues in the MOT records is positive, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented tests.
