Based on the DVSA MOT histories of all 1,345 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles with an MOT checked on CarCheckUp since March 2023 (15,779 tests, retests included). Updated 29 September 2026. A lower mileage reading is often a typing error at the test centre, sometimes a replaced instrument cluster or clocking: our free mileage check flags it for any registration. Every MOT test and advisory for one car is in the free MOT history check. Market-wide figures: UK Used Car Risk Report. How we calculate these figures.

Key history checks before buying a used Land Rover Range Rover

Outstanding Finance

A Land Rover on hire purchase, PCP or a logbook loan may still belong to the lender. Buying it can lead to a dispute over who owns it. Outstanding finance check

Insurance Write-Off (Cat S, N, C, D)

Shows if an insurer declared the car a total loss. Cat S and N cars can return to the road, but the record lowers the value and can affect insurance. Write-off check

Police Stolen Marker

Checks the Police National Computer. A stolen car can be taken back, leaving you without the car or your money. Stolen car check

High Risk Register

Shows if a finance company, insurer or the police has registered an interest in the Range Rover. Find out why before you buy.

Mileage Anomaly Check & MOT History

Free: every MOT mileage reading, with advisories and failures. The full report checks them for drops (clocking) and adds mileage recorded by dealers and insurers. Mileage check

Previous Keepers & Plate Changes

How many keepers the car has had and when, plus number plate changes that can separate a car from its history. Previous owners check

Colour Changes

A respray can be harmless, or hide accident repairs or a disguised identity. Compare the recorded colour with the car.

Imported & Exported

An imported Land Rover can have history from abroad that UK records don't show; an export marker on a car for sale here needs explaining.
