2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · DS 7119

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 11 August 2025 at 172,481 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor defect was rectified quickly without recurring issues. The lack of recorded advisories or persistent failures across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a vehicle that has maintained its mechanical and safety standards during its recent inspection cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year over two decades. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 7,076 miles, while it clocked 5,470 miles in the year leading up to the August 2025 test. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation which is often more beneficial for older components and seals than long periods of inactivity, as it prevents premature corrosion and seizing of the braking system. Despite the clean MOT history in recent years, buyers must perform a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension system and lower bushings, as these are common failure points on the Range Rover Sport of this era. The MOT record does not highlight structural rust, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the subframe and exhaust mounting for signs of corrosion. Check for any fluid leaks around the engine and transfer box to ensure that the high mileage has not led to seal degradation or internal wear in the drivetrain.
