2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · DY05 ANT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑02 at 134,140 mi, but the tester recorded a corroded fuel‑tank cover, worn front suspension arm pins/bushes on both sides and slight under‑body surface rust. These advisories indicate the car remains roadworthy, yet the component wear suggests routine maintenance is required. Compared with the severe failure of September 2021, the subsequent tests show a clear improvement, and the current condition is stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 9,000 mi per year, which is typical for a 15‑year‑old Range Rover Sport. MOT entries are spaced annually, with the April 2025 test only ten months before the latest, confirming a regular inspection regime. The history shows no large mileage jumps or gaps, indicating consistent usage rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm bushes for excessive wear, check the fuel‑tank cover for corrosion, and examine the under‑body for rust patches. The 2021‑09‑22 failure at 101,382 mi recorded excessive oil leakage, corroded rear brake pipes and a prop‑shaft detachment risk, so the oil system, brake‑pipe condition and prop‑shaft clamps need close scrutiny. The 2020‑09‑25 test at 91,387 mi noted inner rear brake pipes covered in grease and a scored rear disc, confirming that brake‑pipe corrosion remains a recurring issue. Tyre wear is uneven, with front tyres showing edge wear, and the rear tyres have approached the legal limit, so a tread depth check is essential. Finally, verify that seat‑belt mechanisms and any fitted under‑trays are secure.
