2018 Land Rover Range Rover SVA BIO DYN V8 SC A 5.0L Petrol · ME10 ODY

The vehicle presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 September 2025 at 36,903 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This marks four consecutive clean passes, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have surfaced across the recorded history. The mileage pattern reveals low annual usage at approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 22,059 miles and the June 2023 test at 27,883 miles, the vehicle covered 5,824 miles in roughly fifteen months. The subsequent interval from June 2023 to October 2024 shows a slower accumulation of 7,591 miles over sixteen months, followed by a notably minimal increase of just 1,429 miles between October 2024 and September 2025. This tapering usage suggests the vehicle may have been standing for extended periods, which can lead to flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber seals despite the low recorded mileage. A clean MOT record does not substitute for a physical inspection. The Range Rover SVA's air suspension system, known for compressor failures and air spring leaks, warrants a thorough check for uneven ride height or slow settling overnight. The supercharged V8 drivetrain should be inspected for oil leaks around the supercharger cooling system and intercooler pipework. Brake calipers on these high-performance variants are prone to sticking, so a road test should confirm no pulling or binding under firm braking. Corrosion remains a critical concern on aluminium-bodied Land Rover models, particularly around door sills, rear arches, and the tailgate lower panel. A buyer should inspect these areas closely for bubbling paint or early-stage perforation. The vehicle's electronic systems, including Terrain Response and adaptive dynamics, should be cycled through all modes to confirm error-free operation. Given the minimal recent mileage, tyre age and condition deserve attention even if tread depth remains legal, as perished sidewalls pose a genuine risk on a high-speed capable vehicle.
