2010 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s MOT history demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three tests, with no defects recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The most current test on May 3, 2024, at 138,668 miles confirms the vehicle passed without failings, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards during this period. While the absence of advisories or defects is reassuring, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals—which are not routinely inspected under the MOT test. Buyers should treat this clean record as a baseline rather than a guarantee of current condition. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,667 miles annually. The gaps between tests—18 months between January 2022 and March 2023, and 14 months between March 2023 and May 2024—are standard and do not imply neglect. However, the jump from 128,935 miles in January 2022 to 136,918 miles by March 2023 (7,983 miles in under a year) suggests a period of heavier use, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, tyres, and transmission fluid. The final stretch to 138,668 miles by May 2024 (1,750 miles in 14 months) is more moderate, but the overall pattern warrants scrutiny of fluid levels and consumable parts. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a thorough inspection should prioritise suspension integrity—particularly the rear trailing arm bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points on this model—and the condition of brake calipers and discs for binding or excessive wear. The lack of MOT advisories does not rule out corrosion in wheel arches, subframe areas, or the sills, which can compromise structural rigidity. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failures here does not confirm recent rotation or balancing. Finally, the differential and transfer case seals should be examined for leaks, as these are often overlooked but critical for long-term drivetrain health.
