2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · PRO 11S

The most recent MOT, carried out on 26 August 2022 when the odometer read 71,351 miles, resulted in a FAIL . No specific defects were recorded on the test sheet, which suggests the failure was likely administrative (e.g., an expired test, missing paperwork, or a minor advisory that did not generate a defect list) rather than a serious safety fault. With only one MOT entry available, there is no observable pattern of recurring mechanical issues. The single failure, without documented defects, does not give evidence of a worsening condition, but it does mean the vehicle has not been confirmed road‑worthy for the past three and a half years. Until a fresh MOT is obtained, the current state of the car’s safety‑critical systems remains unknown. The vehicle is now 14 years old and has logged 71,351 miles – roughly 5,100 miles per year. This is well below the average for a vehicle of its age, which could indicate light usage or long periods of storage. Low mileage can mean reduced wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and clutch components, but it can also hide potential issues that arise from prolonged inactivity (e.g., corrosion, seals drying out, or rubber deterioration). Because the mileage signal is ambiguous, it should be treated as neither a clear benefit nor a guarantee of condition. What to check first, in person 1.
