2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · X16 KRS

The most recent MOT test on November 26, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 75,455 miles. This marks the third consecutive annual pass without failings, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the last three tests implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural concerns. However, the double entry for the 2024 test—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—indicates a rare administrative anomaly rather than a technical failure, as no defects were logged. The recorded mileage of 75,455 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an average of around 5,800 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and class. The most significant gap occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by just 8,798 miles over 14 months, followed by a more typical 7,452 miles in the subsequent year. Such low annual mileage could imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and fuel system components due to prolonged static loading or moisture ingress. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records further obscures whether critical maintenance—such as brake fluid changes or differential servicing—was conducted at regular intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to degradation even with low mileage. The binding calipers advisory from the 2024 test—despite the pass—warrants verification that this issue has been resolved, as repeated binding can lead to uneven brake pad wear or disc warping. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be examined closely, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods off-road or in damp conditions. Finally, the fuel system and injectors should be assessed for efficiency, as older Land Rover engines are susceptible to carbon buildup and reduced performance if not regularly serviced. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, and a professional inspection is essential to confirm their current state.
