2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YR61 ABU

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT records. The most recent test on 2025-03-17 at 182,694 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2024-03-19 (178,516 miles) and 2023-03-16 (176,008 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2022-03-22 test at 173,799 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, which may suggest a procedural error or unrecorded minor fault. Despite this, the absence of recurring mechanical issues in subsequent tests implies the car has remained mechanically sound. The mileage of 182,694 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 12,180 miles annually, which is high for the model’s age. The MOT history shows steady mileage progression, with annual increases of approximately 2,000–3,000 miles. Notably, the gap between the 2022-03-22 test (173,799 miles) and the 2023-03-16 test (176,008 miles) spans just 2,209 miles, suggesting potential inactivity or data entry inconsistency. The lack of significant mileage spikes or prolonged gaps indicates regular use, though high annual mileage may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which are common wear points in high-mileage 4x4s. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop with extended use. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, particularly in body seams and underbody panels, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and exposure to varied conditions. While the MOT records show no structural integrity issues, the high mileage necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or rust-related problems.
