2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · PK13 AEP

The vehicle's roadworthiness appears stable following its most recent pass in February 2026, but the MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of component degradation. While the vehicle continues to pass, the frequency of advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The February 2026 test at 73,658 miles flagged several issues, including a corroded rear coil spring, a corroded fuel tank cover, and a worn front tyre. These findings indicate that while the vehicle remains legal, structural corrosion and suspension wear are becoming more prevalent. The mileage profile shows a low-use pattern, averaging approximately 5,666 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. This low annual mileage is evident in the progression from 23,645 miles in 2016 to 73,658 miles in 2026. Such low usage often correlates with the age-related issues seen in the record, specifically the perishing of tyres noted in 2021 and 2022 and the various instances of corrosion. The vehicle has not undergone rapid mileage accumulation, which typically reduces mechanical wear, but the long periods of inactivity may contribute to the observed surface corrosion and rubber degradation. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and chassis components. The record shows a persistent trend of suspension issues, specifically regarding ball joints and bushes, with faults appearing in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The recent advisory regarding a corroded rear coil spring in February 2026, following a heavily corroded exhaust heat shield in February 2025, suggests that underside corrosion is a developing concern. The tester also noted a pitted and scored offside rear brake disc in February 2024, which may indicate intermittent overheating or binding. Detailed attention must also be paid to the fuel system area and tyres. The fuel tank cover has been flagged for corrosion in both 2024 and 2026, which could lead to more significant structural issues if left unaddressed. Given the history of perishing tyres and multiple advisories for worn treads, the current condition of all four tyres should be verified against the legal limit. Finally, the presence of damaged passenger doors noted in 2022 suggests a need to inspect the bodywork for any further cosmetic or structural integrity issues.
