2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · DA61 FVL

The Land Rover passed its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 135,418 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable and clean, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 5 September 2025 at 134,982 miles and 16 October 2024 at 134,371 miles, both showing no defects recorded. These suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has since cleared each time without recorded advisories. At roughly 15 years old the recorded mileage of 135,418 equates to about 9,028 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The records show a low annual accumulation: only 10,633 miles between the October 2023 pass at 123,785 miles and the September 2025 pass at 135,418. The sparse history, with just five entries across three years and no advisories or defects ever logged, gives little insight into consumable wear but indicates the keeper was not flagging routine items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes for attention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension arms, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil springs, as Range Rover Sport models of this era commonly develop worn bushes and corroded subframes that an MOT with zero advisories may have overlooked. The twin failures with no defects recorded point to possible test station disputes rather than owner neglect, yet the absence of any brake, exhaust emission, or structural integrity notes means underlying corrosion or binding calipers cannot be ruled out from the document alone. Given the clean but thin record, verify the two failure reasons via the full DVSA refusal notice and confirm the vehicle has not been standing unused for long periods that could hide seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres. The current roadworthiness is sound on paper, but the lack of advisories across 11,000 miles of use warrants a physical check of drivetrain oils and chassis condition before purchase.
