2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · DF57 TPU

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 shows two separate outcomes for the same date: a passed test with corrosion on brake pipes , tyre wear near legal limits , and suspension bush wear , and a failed test citing non-functional direction indicators , stop lamps , and continued corrosion on brake pipes. This suggests the vehicle has persistent issues with corrosion and minor mechanical wear, though the failed test highlights additional electrical faults. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake pipe corrosion (noted in 2025, 2024, and 2026), suspension bush wear (2026, 2024, 2023), and tyre wear (2026). These issues indicate ongoing exposure to environmental factors (e.g., road salt) or insufficient maintenance. The corrosion on brake components is particularly concerning, as it could compromise braking integrity over time. The trend shows no clear improvement but also no dramatic worsening. Issues like suspension bush wear and brake pipe corrosion have persisted across multiple MOTs, suggesting chronic but manageable problems. However, the 2026 failed test introduces new electrical faults (indicators, stop lamps), which may reflect aging wiring or poor maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 175,715 miles (roughly 9,248 miles per year) is typical for its 19-year age , implying average usage. While this avoids the risks of excessive wear from high mileage, it also means the car has likely experienced long-term exposure to corrosion and gradual component degradation.
