2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · BF59 FVD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in January 2026 at 104,698 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum standards during the latest inspection. The maintenance trend shows a transition from minor electrical faults in previous years to a clean sheet, suggesting the current owner has addressed identified issues or improved the standard of care. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the February 2022 test at 91,574 miles and the July 2024 test at 103,574 miles, the vehicle covered 12,000 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The subsequent 1,124 miles recorded between July 2024 and January 2026 suggest regular operation, which is often beneficial for older Land Rovers to prevent seal degradation and component failure associated with long periods of standing. An in-person inspection should focus on the electrical system, specifically the recurring inoperative rear registration plate lamp noted in 2022 and 2024. While this is a minor defect, its recurrence suggests a potential wiring issue or corrosion in the light housing. Given the age of the vehicle and the model, the buyer must also inspect the air suspension system for leaks or perished bellows, as these components often fail without being flagged on a standard MOT test. Checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes remains a priority for a vehicle of this era.
