2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · CE66 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-12 at 108,914 miles confirms it passed without defects, maintaining a consistent pattern of clean results across all recorded tests. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories in the past four annual cycles, suggesting the vehicle has been reliably maintained within legal limits. However, the 2024 test cycle—spanning just 48 miles between a failure and subsequent pass—indicates a brief but unnecessary delay in rectifying an issue, though no specific faults were logged. Overall, the trend remains stable, with no worsening of structural or critical components. The absence of advisories or repeated failures implies the previous owner adhered to basic MOT compliance, though this does not guarantee hidden wear beyond visual inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,000 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2024 failure at 100,246 miles—just 48 miles before the subsequent pass—stands out as an anomaly. This suggests either a minor oversight in scheduling or an unrecorded interim repair. The lack of extended periods of inactivity or unusually low mileage intervals rules out prolonged neglect or storage-related degradation, such as flat tyres or seized components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items not covered by the test, including the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. The braking system warrants scrutiny for uneven wear on discs or pads, as binding calipers or warped rotors could have gone unnoticed without dynamic testing. Exhaust emissions should be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, though the absence of advisories reduces this risk. Finally, a thorough examination of the underbody for structural rust—common in this model—is essential, especially around the sills, subframe, and rear differential housing, where corrosion can compromise integrity without immediate MOT failure.
