LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2006 · 2.7L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening structural trend. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 149,545 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior for critical suspension and corrosion issues. The presence of a corroded fuel tank guard and significant corrosion noted on both the nearside and offside outer sills suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where structural integrity becomes the primary long-term concern. At a recorded mileage of 149,545 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a car of this age. The mileage pattern appears steady, with roughly 2,300 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,900 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage means the components have been subjected to regular environmental exposure rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural state of the chassis and sills, as the 2024 test specifically flagged general underbody corrosion affecting the running gear. The 2025 failure of the rear upper suspension arms indicates that these components are reaching the end of their operational life; a buyer should verify if these were replaced rather than merely adjusted. Additionally, the 2023 failure for a split CV boot necessitates a check of the drive shaft joints to ensure no grease loss or dirt ingress has damaged the drivetrain components.
