2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT HSE SDV6 A3.0L HEAVY OIL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 107,052 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of instability in late 2024, where the vehicle failed two consecutive tests in December at 96,309 and 96,350 miles. Although the specific defects for those failures were not documented in the provided record, the subsequent clean pass in February 2026 suggests that the necessary repairs were completed to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage from 39,348 miles in March 2019 through to the current 107,052 miles. A notable jump in mileage occurred between the November 2021 test at 68,603 miles and the February 2024 test at 89,599 miles, representing a period of higher annual usage. The vehicle has not shown signs of long-term stagnation or excessive, erratic mileage spikes that often indicate commercial misuse. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and consumables. The November 2021 test at 68,603 miles flagged several items, including thin brake pads on both rear wheels, worn rear brake discs, and uneven tyre wear on the nearside front. While these are standard wear items, the presence of multiple advisories at once suggests a period where routine maintenance was deferred. Given the 2024 failures, a thorough check of the braking components and any recent replacement parts is advisable to ensure the previous issues were fully resolved. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension component failures in the MOT history is a positive indicator for a Land Rover of this vintage. However, because the 2024 failures lacked specific defect descriptions, a manual inspection of the underside for leaks or mechanical play in the suspension bushes is recommended. The recent clean pass at 107,052 miles indicates the vehicle is currently compliant, but the history of failures warrants a cautious approach to the mechanical condition of the drivetrain and braking hardware.
