2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · DD05 YER

The 2006 Range Rover Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 173,250 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from January 2022 through to the present date. Annual mileage sits close to the typical expectation for a 20-year-old vehicle of this type. The records show 156,948 miles in January 2022, rising to 162,259 by January 2023, 167,608 in January 2024, 169,459 in January 2025, and 173,250 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 5,700 miles added each year, a gentle accumulation that implies regular but undemanding use rather than sustained motorway work or long idle periods. The DVSA data carries no gaps and no advisories across the span. A clean MOT sheet does not mean the chassis and drivetrain are free of age-related wear. At 173,250 miles the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links on this model merit a physical check for play or cracking, as the tester is not obliged to flag minor bush deterioration until it becomes excessive. The buyer should also inspect the underside for corrosion around the subframe mounts and sills, and confirm the brake discs and calipers are not suffering from uneven wear after low annual use. Given the absence of any recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual statutory testing. The buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on structural integrity and the air suspension system, since these components commonly degrade on high-mileage Range Rover Sports without triggering an MOT failure.
