2022 Land Rover Range Rover SPT Autobio Phev A 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · ST03 BBO

The most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 recorded a pass, and a subsequent failure on the same day recorded no specific defects. This pattern typically indicates an administrative or paperwork issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the absence of recorded defects suggests that the vehicle’s condition met the statutory requirements at the time of testing. Consequently the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring problems in the MOT data. At 37,678 miles after just under four years on the road the vehicle averages roughly 9,400 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the normal usage envelope for a premium SUV of this age. The mileage does not point to excessive wear on high‑stress items such as the drivetrain, brakes or suspension, nor does it suggest prolonged periods of inactivity that might have allowed corrosion or fluid degradation to set in. The relatively modest annual mileage also means that consumables are likely to be within their expected service intervals. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on tyre condition; even with moderate mileage, tyres older than three years can suffer sidewall cracking or dry‑rot, especially if the vehicle has spent time standing. Examine the tread depth, look for uneven wear patterns that could hint at alignment or suspension issues, and verify that the tyre pressure sensors are functional. The PHEV’s high‑voltage battery and the conventional 12‑volt system should be checked for charge retention and any warning lights on the dashboard; a healthy battery will hold charge for several years, but a four‑year‑old unit may benefit from a load test. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, glazing or uneven wear, and listen for any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes during a test drive. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough review of service records is essential. Confirm that oil, filter, coolant and brake‑fluid changes have been performed at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals, typically every 12,000 miles or 12 months for oil, and every two years for brake fluid. Pay particular attention to the PHEV’s hybrid‑system coolant and the condition of the inverter cooling system, as these are time‑sensitive. During the drive, watch for any clunking from the suspension bushes or coil springs, note the steering feel for any play, and listen for abnormal noises from the electric motor or exhaust that could indicate wear. A comprehensive visual and dynamic assessment combined with a full service history will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance that may be required.
