2018 Land Rover Range Rover 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SO68 ACF

The vehicle has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness trend over the past five MOT cycles, with every test concluding in a pass and no recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2 June 2025, at 17,028 miles, aligns with this pattern, suggesting the vehicle has undergone no major mechanical failures or recurring issues during the testing period. While the absence of defects does not guarantee flawless condition, it does indicate that the vehicle has not exhibited any obvious or persistent faults detectable under standard MOT criteria. However, the lack of advisories or minor faults in prior tests also means there is no historical data to confirm whether routine maintenance—such as brake pad replacement, suspension servicing, or fluid changes—has been diligently performed. The recorded mileage of 17,028 miles over approximately eight years suggests unusually low usage, averaging just over 2,100 miles annually. This pattern is notable for its stability, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps in mileage. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the vehicle accumulated only 2,395 miles, and similarly modest increases are visible in subsequent years. While low mileage can imply lighter wear on high-stress components like tyres, brakes, and drivetrain, it may also indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or degrade seals and fluids. The consistent mileage increments further imply the vehicle has not been subjected to harsh driving conditions, though this does not preclude underlying issues that might only manifest under specific use. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components that are not routinely tested under standard MOT procedures. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are critical for handling and ride quality but often fall outside MOT scrutiny unless visibly failing. The brake system, while not flagged in tests, warrants verification of pad thickness, rotor condition, and hydraulic integrity, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion checks should focus on wheel arches, subframes, and underbody areas, as low mileage does not negate the risk of rust progression over time. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be inspected, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation or contamination. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not rule out these areas requiring attention.
