2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · BB58 AMY

A consistently clean MOT record, punctuated only by a single failure that listed no defects, defines the mechanical profile of this 2010 Range Rover Sport. The vehicle cleared its most recent test on 15 February 2024, confirming that at the time of inspection all mandatory safety items met the required standards, while the earlier failure on 29 January 2024 appears to have been an administrative or paperwork issue rather than a component fault. At 116,527 miles over roughly sixteen years the annual average of about 7,300 miles sits within normal usage for a premium SUV of this age. The MOT chronology shows a regular testing cadence with no prolonged gaps: a pass in December 2021, another in January 2023, and two tests in early 2024. This steady mileage accumulation suggests wear rates that are typical for a vehicle of its class and age, without evidence of sudden high‑speed mileage spikes that could accelerate component fatigue. When you inspect the vehicle, give particular attention to the suspension and steering assemblies, as the Range Rover Sport’s load‑bearing geometry tends to develop bushings, ball joints and control‑arm wear around the 100‑k‑mile mark. Listen for any clunk or knock when traversing bumps, feel for any looseness or wandering under steering, and verify that wheel alignment remains true. The braking system should also be examined closely; check pad thickness, disc condition and pedal feel for any judder or pull, as high‑energy braking on a heavy SUV can lead to uneven wear even when no MOT defect has been recorded. Finally, scrutinise the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the front subframe and rear suspension mounts, and inspect for oil, coolant or exhaust leaks that often emerge after a decade of service. Pay particular attention to the transfer case and differential oil levels, and listen for any whine or grinding from the drivetrain under load. Verifying the condition of these items during a thorough test drive will give you a realistic picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical health beyond the clean MOT history.
