2016 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · LS11 KAL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-08-15 at 85,630 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past five annual tests, all passing without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests no systematic neglect of critical components, though the record does not reveal whether pre-MOT servicing was performed. The most recent test was conducted just 11 months ago , placing it within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age and mileage, though a 2026 MOT is now overdue . The mileage progression indicates consistent annual usage , averaging around 8,563 miles per year , which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. There are no irregular gaps or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2021-2022 interval saw a 7,558-mile increase (from 48,641 to 56,199) over just 13 months, which could imply either heavier usage or a period of deferred maintenance. The lack of advisories or defects in prior tests means no obvious red flags emerge from this pattern, but the buyer should verify whether major services—such as suspension alignment, drivetrain fluid changes, or transfer case maintenance—were attended to at regular intervals. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and wear . At this mileage, rear suspension bushes and coil springs may require assessment for cracking or excessive play, particularly in a Range Rover where off-road use could accelerate wear. The front and rear brake systems should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness, warped discs, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has seen varied terrain. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area—despite no MOT mentions, prolonged exposure to UK conditions can compromise integrity over a decade. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions control components (catalytic converter, DPF if applicable) warrant inspection, as these are common failure points in diesel Range Rovers, even without MOT faults. While the MOT record provides reassurance, the buyer must treat this as a baseline rather than a definitive assessment. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues—such as hydraulic brake fluid degradation , differential or transfer case fluid leaks , or minor electrical faults —that may not trigger MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified specialist is strongly advised to validate the vehicle’s true condition beyond the MOT’s scope.
