2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · AC58 BYD

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 205,026 miles on 8 September 2025, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test recorded no defects, yet the preceding attempt on 12 August 2025 failed at 204,880 miles with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred in June 2024, when the tester failed the car on 3 June at 201,261 miles with no defects, before a clean pass the next day at 201,263 miles. At roughly 17 years old, this Range Rover Sport shows 205,026 miles, equating to about 12,060 miles per year and marking it as high mileage for the model age. The record spans just three calendar years of tests, from 194,159 miles in May 2023 to the current figure, revealing steady annual use of around 10,000 to 12,000 miles with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes. The sparse history and total absence of advisories across all five entries suggest either meticulous record-keeping or tests conducted without depth, given the mileage involved. A buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as these components typically degrade on high-mileage 2009 Land Rovers yet drew no advisories here. The repeated fail-pass pairs with zero defects point to possible test centre processing errors, so confirming the VOSA failure reasons in person remains sensible. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close inspection given the age and climate exposure, even though the MOT data shows no flagged rust.
