AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-28 at 143,514 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior failure on 2025-05-30 at 141,360 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential procedural inconsistencies. The absence of recorded issues in the last three passes (2024-05-07, 2023-01-05, 2021-06-18) indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the rapid mileage growth from 120,040 to 143,514 miles in 15 months raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The vehicle’s mileage of 143,514 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 14,351 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in testing, such as the three-year interval between the 2021 and 2024 MOTs, may reflect periods of reduced use or neglect, potentially masking gradual deterioration. The high mileage, combined with the lack of detailed defect records, implies a need for thorough inspection of wear-prone systems, including brake linings, exhaust emissions, and steering linkages, which are prone to failure under heavy usage. A buyer should prioritise checking for corrosion in the chassis and underbody, as well as assessing the condition of suspension components and brake discs for uneven wear. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not preclude hidden issues, particularly given the vehicle’s high annual mileage. Structural integrity and exhaust system integrity should be verified, as these are critical for long-term reliability. The records suggest the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards but may require proactive servicing to address potential age-related degradation.

Our Verdict

Caution is advised due to a recent MOT failure with no recorded defects, though the vehicle has a clean recent MOT history. Consider further inspection before purchase.

Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection to investigate the unexplained 2025 MOT failure. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as Land Rovers often require diligent care. Negotiate based on the high mileage and potential hidden issues. Check for rust or suspension wear common in older SUVs. Be wary of 'clean' MOT records that may mask underlying problems.

Diesel fuel economy averages 30-35 mpg, with £1,500-£2,000 annual fuel costs at 10,000 miles. Road tax is £140 annually (vanity plate DSZ3228 may affect this). Insurance groups for large SUVs typically range £1,200-£1,800 yearly. Maintenance costs can exceed £500 annually due to complex systems, with £1,000-£1,500 estimated for major services.

Focus on the 2025 MOT failure - request the exact reason from the garage. Inspect suspension components, exhaust system, and ECU for fault codes. Check for oil leaks around the turbocharger, a known issue in SDV6 engines. Verify bodywork for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and under the vehicle. Confirm all service intervals were met using the service book.

This 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ABIO DYNAM SDV6 A has accumulated 143,514 miles, exceeding average mileage for its age. While the most recent MOT (2025-06-28) passed, a prior failure in 2025-05-30 without defects raises concerns. No aggregate reliability data exists for this specific model variant.

No statistical reliability data exists for this specific model variant, but Land Rover SUVs generally require higher maintenance compared to mainstream brands.
