2019 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · RK69 CFN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-23 at 42,071 miles passed without defects, though it follows an unusual immediate retest on 2025-05-22 at 42,052 miles that also failed—though no specific faults were recorded. This suggests either an administrative oversight or a minor procedural issue rather than a mechanical trend. The preceding MOT history from 2023 to 2024 shows consistent passes with no advisories, indicating stable roadworthiness during that period. However, the lack of recorded defects in either the 2023 or 2025 failures makes it impossible to confirm whether underlying issues were present but not tested for. The absence of recurring advisories or defects in the last three tests implies that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—have not yet reached critical failure thresholds, though this cannot be guaranteed without further inspection. The recorded mileage of 42,071 miles over seven years equates to approximately 6,010 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation, and the progression between tests appears steady, with the largest jump of 9,484 miles occurring between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The retest in May 2025, occurring just one day after the initial failure, suggests either a rushed or unnecessary repeat rather than a pattern of rapid wear. While this mileage rate does not indicate excessive stress on high-wear items like tyres or brakes, it also does not provide evidence of particularly light use, which might have delayed more obvious degradation. Given the sparse defect record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components that commonly fail without immediate MOT failings, such as the suspension’s rubber mounts and track arms, which often degrade gradually before causing handling issues. The brakes, though not explicitly flagged, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without being visible from routine MOT checks. The lack of advisories in past tests does not rule out hidden issues, so attention to fluid levels (brakes, power steering, differential) and the condition of the exhaust system—particularly for leaks or excessive rust—would be prudent. The absence of recorded faults does not equate to absence of wear; a professional inspection remains essential.
