2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OV62 NTF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean result of its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted in January 2024 at 96,911 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While a failure occurred in late January 2023 at 85,443 miles, the immediate re-test four days later showed a pass, suggesting the previous owner was reactive to mechanical requirements and addressed the flagged faults promptly to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 13,000 miles between June 2021 and July 2022, followed by a more steady accumulation of roughly 16,000 miles between July 2022 and January 2024. This lower mileage generally reduces the wear on high-stress drivetrain components, though the 14-year age of the vehicle increases the risk of rubber-based component degradation, fluid leaks, and atmospheric corrosion regardless of the total hours of operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the air suspension system and associated bushings, which are common failure points on this model at this age. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for corrosion or brake issues, the priority should be checking for hidden structural rust on the chassis and subframe that an MOT may not always detect. Given the time elapsed since the last test, a thorough check of fluid levels and the condition of the brake lines is also necessary to ensure no significant mechanical issues have developed since the last official check.
