2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · LO66 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-12 at 111,744 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded over the past two tests. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for the 2025-02-17 test—one marked as failed despite no defects—indicates a possible administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of recurring advisories or defects across five tests implies that major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers have not been flagged, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The latest test was conducted just five months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage, where more frequent checks on critical systems would be prudent. The recorded mileage of 111,744 miles over ten years equates to an average of approximately 11,174 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this class and age. There are no significant gaps in testing—each MOT was conducted within a year of the previous one, with the longest interval between tests spanning 11 months (from 2023-02-20 to 2024-01-31). The lack of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity suggests consistent use rather than neglect, though this does not rule out deferred maintenance. The most notable outlier is the duplicate 2025 test, which may warrant clarification from the previous owner regarding the vehicle’s service history beyond MOTs. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and track arms, as these components are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not failed, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Corrosion checks are essential, focusing on the wheel arches, sills, and underbody near the fuel tank, as Land Rover models of this era are susceptible to structural rust. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, as this is a common failure point in older SUVs with high ground clearance. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
