2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · WH06 SPH

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 June 2025 with no defects recorded, and the broader test history reflects a consistently stable maintenance trend. Across the five tests available from January 2022 through June 2025, every examination resulted in a pass with no advisories, monitoring items, or failure points logged on the DVSA system. A completely clean MOT record spanning three and a half years indicates that the vehicle has not presented any issues serious enough to be flagged under standard roadworthiness criteria during this period, which is a reassuring indicator. However, the absence of advisories is not in itself conclusive evidence of mechanical perfection, as the MOT test is a minimum safety standard and does not assess the condition of major drivetrain, electronic, or non-tested wear components such as the timing chain, transfer box, air suspension compressor, or interior electrical systems. The recorded mileage of 87,693 miles over an approximate 13-year vehicle age equates to around 6,746 miles per year, which sits broadly within typical UK usage parameters for a vehicle of this type and age. There are no significant gaps in the mileage progression across the recorded MOT tests that would suggest prolonged periods of standing, nor any evidence of unusually high annual accumulation. For a vehicle of this nature, the mileage is moderate and consistent with regular mixed use, which generally supports even wear on major mechanical assemblies such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components. That said, a Range Rover of this vintage is a complex premium SUV with significant mechanical and electronic content, and the test records cannot reveal the full service and maintenance regime carried out between tests. Although the MOT history is clean, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough age and mileage appropriate inspection given that the vehicle is now over a decade old and based on a platform known for specific wear patterns. Begin with the tyres, as rubber compounds degrade with age regardless of tread depth; inspect the sidewalls for signs of perishing, cracking, or UV damage, particularly on the rear axle where the heavy vehicle weight can accelerate deterioration. Examine the brake discs and calipers closely for any signs of corrosion, binding, or uneven wear, and listen on a test drive for any brake shudder under heavy application or squealing when reversing from cold. The air suspension system should be inspected for any sagging overnight, warning messages on the dashboard, or slow compressor operation, as the air struts and reservoir are known wear items on this model. Check the underside of the vehicle on a ramp if possible for any fluid seepage from the engine, transfer box, or differential, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or insecure mounting points. Equally important are the time based service items that an MOT test will not cover. Verify that the service book contains stamps from a reputable specialist or main dealer at the correct intervals and confirm the timing chain, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid have been changed in line with manufacturer schedules, as brake fluid in particular absorbs moisture over time and degrades regardless of mileage. The 12 volt battery should be load tested, as Range Rover electrical systems place significant demand on battery health and a failing battery can cause a wide array of spurious faults. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn suspension bushes, drop links, or anti roll bar mountings. Check for any hesitation, rough running, or excessive smoke from the exhaust, and ensure the four wheel drive system engages smoothly through its range settings. Finally, confirm that all electronic features function correctly, including the infotainment system, terrain response settings, parking sensors, cameras, and climate control, as electrical faults on this generation of Range Rover can be costly to rectify and are not assessed under MOT criteria.
