2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · WOI 59

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate as the last test on 3 December 2024 expired in December 2025. Legal roadworthiness cannot be confirmed until a fresh inspection occurs. Maintenance trends appear reactive, evidenced by advisories on thinning brake pads and a minor oil leak recorded at the final passing test. Previous failures involving headlamp aim and tyre wear suggest underlying adjustments or component replacements were deferred until mandatory testing deadlines approached. Mileage records indicate a steady accumulation of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year, totaling 66,432 miles on a ten-year-old Range Rover Sport chassis. Annual tests between November 2022 and December 2024 show no significant gaps in documentation, implying owners adhered to statutory schedules. Low annual mileage often correlates with longer periods of inactivity, which can accelerate rubber degradation regardless of distance travelled. The progression from 57,113 miles in late 2022 to the current figure confirms consistent engine operation without long-term storage neglect, though infrequent driving may mask fluid leaks or battery health issues. Prospective buyers should prioritize checking suspension geometry due to recurring edge wear on tyres across multiple tests. Inspect the brake system thoroughly, noting that discs were flagged as worn in 2022 and pads are now near replacement limits. Verify the source of the oil leak mentioned in the latest advisory to prevent potential environmental hazards or engine damage. Finally, assess headlamp alignment mechanisms manually, as repeated aim failures point to loose fittings or sensor drift common in off-road capable vehicles. Check for structural corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, considering the age and potential exposure to road salt during winter months.
