2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · AD09 OCZ

This Range Rover Sport presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend based on its DVSA MOT record. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 141,548 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that stretches back to October 2023. The two failed entries in the history are re-tests conducted on the same day as the subsequent passes — 19 October 2023 and 16 October 2024 — with no defects listed on any of those entries, indicating only very minor items were rectified before the car was returned to the road. There is no pattern of recurring mechanical or structural faults, and the overall trajectory is one of consistent roadworthiness. The mileage profile is modest for a vehicle of this age. At roughly 17 years old with 141,548 recorded miles, the annual average sits at approximately 8,326 miles, which is on the lower side of typical. Between the October 2023 test at 130,664 miles and the October 2024 test at 136,709 miles, the car covered around 6,045 miles in a year. The following twelve months to October 2025 saw only 4,839 miles added, suggesting lighter recent use or possibly longer periods of standing. The record is sparse but clean, with no gaps or anomalies that raise concern. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and the known characteristics of this model. The air suspension system should be checked thoroughly for compressor function and strut integrity, as failures here are common on the Range Rover Sport and costly to rectify. The chassis and subframes merit close examination for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and suspension pickup areas, since structural rust can develop quietly on vehicles that spend time standing. Brake discs and calipers on a heavy 4x4 of this weight are worth inspecting for uneven wear or binding, even though no brake defects have been flagged. The declining annual mileage also warrants attention to perishable rubber components. Suspension bushes, drive belt condition, and tyre age should be verified, as rubber deteriorates with time as much as with use. Fluid service history — particularly for the gearbox, transfer case, and differentials — should be confirmed through documentation, since the MOT record alone cannot verify whether these intervals have been met. A pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with this platform would be a prudent step before committing.
