2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · CX09 YBS

The 2009 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 97,400 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Across the four subsequent annual examinations from May 2022 to May 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent mechanical condition for a 17-year-old 4x4. Recorded mileage sits at 97,400 against a 2009 build, an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year. The DVSA logs show tightly clustered readings: 94,575 miles on 31 May 2022, 94,576 the same day, then 95,462 in May 2023, 96,079 in May 2024, and 97,400 in May 2025. The near-identical figures on 31 May 2022 reflect a failed then passed retest with negligible distance covered. Annual accumulation stays under 1,400 miles, confirming very light use with no rapid wear cycles or unexplained gaps. The only blemish is the 31 May 2022 failure at 94,575 miles, where the tester issued no defects yet recorded a fail, almost certainly an administrative or incomplete-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault given the immediate pass at 94,576 miles. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain, so the history alone shows no worsening pattern or recurring consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as a clean MOT does not measure hidden chassis rust on a Land Rover of this age. Verify the suspension arms, coil springs, and binding calipers operate without play, and confirm the low-mileage standing periods have not degraded tyres, fluids, or brake lines through stagnation.
