2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · VO13 LWR

The vehicle most recently passed its DVSA MOT on 23 March 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, and the preceding seven tests spanning back to July 2019 also returned clean passes with no advisories. A completely clean MOT history over a near seven-year period is an encouraging indicator of consistent maintenance and mechanical upkeep, suggesting that the vehicle has been presented for testing in a roadworthy condition on each occasion. The absence of recurring advisories across braking, suspension, tyre, or exhaust systems implies that wear-related components have either been replaced proactively between tests or have not yet reached the advisory threshold. However, it is worth noting that a clean MOT record only confirms compliance at the point of test and does not guarantee that impending wear items are not approaching service limits, particularly given the vehicle's age and mileage. With 122,105 miles recorded on a 2013 model, the vehicle averages approximately 9,393 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The MOT record itself shows no significant gaps in testing and the mileage accumulation appears consistent and regular, rather than reflecting long periods of standing or sudden heavy use. This steady annual usage pattern is generally favourable, as it tends to keep mechanical components such as the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension in regular operation, reducing the risk of issues associated with prolonged inactivity such as seized calipers, dried seals, or perished rubber components. That said, at this accumulated mileage, certain major wear items typical to high-mileage luxury SUVs will be approaching or have already passed their expected service life. Although the MOT history is commendably clean, the combination of thirteen years of age and over 122,000 miles means a prospective buyer should undertake several physical checks beyond the MOT certificate. Tyre condition warrants close inspection, particularly for sidewall perishing or cracking from age, even if the tread depth appears adequate, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of wear. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for any surface corrosion, binding, or uneven pad wear, and a test drive should be performed to listen for any suspension clonks, knocking from the air suspension components, or uneven tyre wear patterns that may indicate worn bushes or coil springs. The 12V battery should be checked for its state of health, as batteries typically require replacement every five to seven years, and any warning lights related to the air suspension, electronic stability control, or drivetrain systems should be investigated through a diagnostic read. Given the vehicle's age rather than solely its mileage, time-based servicing items should also be verified. Coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid all degrade over calendar years and should have been changed at manufacturer-recommended intervals regardless of mileage accumulation; confirmation via the service book or maintenance invoices is advisable. The timing belt, if fitted, on a thirteen-year-old Range Rover will almost certainly have been replaced at least once, and supporting documentation should be present. Exhaust system mounting rubbers and underbody components are susceptible to corrosion with age, particularly given the typical UK climate exposure, so a thorough underside inspection or a borescope check through the exhaust hangers and subframe mountings is recommended. Finally, ensure that all electronic systems, including infotainment, terrain response, and adaptive dynamics features, are fully functional, as Range Rovers of this era are known for electronic faults that would not necessarily be captured during a standard MOT assessment.
