2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · VE61 AEC

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent April 2025 inspection at 99,788 miles. The 2023 and 2022 tests also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a duplicate entry on 2022-07-19 shows a failed test alongside a passing result for the same mileage, which may reflect administrative error or unrecorded repairs. No structural corrosion, suspension failures, or brake system defects were flagged in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained in terms of critical safety systems. The mileage progression reveals uneven usage patterns. From 2021-07-01 (81,315 miles) to 2022-07-19 (92,417 miles), the car accumulated 11,102 miles in 12 months, exceeding the average annual rate. Subsequent tests show slower growth, with 2,865 miles between 2022-07-19 and 2023-08-22, then 4,506 miles by 2025-04-15. This fluctuation could indicate periods of heavy use or prolonged inactivity, though no corresponding defects were recorded. The absence of repeated advisories or failures suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the 2022-07-19 failed test (unexplained in the record) warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear on bushes and coil springs, common in 15-year-old SUVs, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may not trigger MOT failures but affect safety. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be evaluated, as older vehicles can develop leaks or inefficiencies. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the irregular mileage growth and unexplained 2022 test anomaly highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly of underbody corrosion and drivetrain components.
