2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · SV02 BAT

The vehicle currently presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of mechanical volatility. The most recent MOT on 16 April 2026 at 152,799 miles shows a clean pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the successful results from the 2024 and 2025 tests. This indicates that the significant mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,754 miles per year. The records show steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 48,576 in 2016 to the current 152,799. There are no suspicious gaps in the history that suggest long periods of inactivity. The progression from 104,951 miles in March 2023 to 152,799 miles in April 2026 shows a regular driving pattern, which is generally positive for maintaining seals and preventing component seizure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and drivetrain components. The 7 April 2022 failure highlighted a leak in the offside front suspension cornering pipes, a critical issue for a vehicle of this type. While the 29 April 2022 pass cleared this, the history of leaking active cornering pipes and a damaged nearside front CVJ gaiter in 2017 suggests that the suspension system and its associated hydraulic or pneumatic components have been under stress. The history also shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumables, specifically tyres. The 2017 and 2018 tests flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the 2022 failure noted a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords. While these are standard wear items, the frequency of these flags suggests previous owners occasionally deferred basic maintenance. A thorough check of the current tyre condition, brake pad thickness, and the integrity of all suspension bushes and gaiters is advised to ensure the recent clean MOTs reflect a high standard of ongoing care.
