2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · FN11 MXT

The 2011 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 88,860 miles on 31 December 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A failed test occurred on 30 April 2024 at 86,206 miles, though the record shows no defects noted for that specific failure, suggesting a minor issue was rectified before the retest passed on the same day. This pattern points to a responsive owner addressing faults promptly rather than ignoring them. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,924 miles annually. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the odometer advanced by just 2,954 miles, confirming light, short-journey usage. However, the 2022 test on 27 April records an anomalous 778,927 miles, a clear DVSA data entry error given the current 88,860-mile reading. Disregarding this clerical error, the vehicle has covered approximately 10,000 miles over the last four years. Such low mileage often implies prolonged stationary periods, which can cause its own set of mechanical issues despite the reduced wear on consumables. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must inspect the vehicle thoroughly for the hidden consequences of low-mileage, short-trip usage. Suspension bushes and coil springs frequently perish from age and standing rather than mileage, so check for cracking and corrosion on all rubber components. Brake discs and calipers are highly susceptible to surface rust and binding when a vehicle sits unused. Inspect the exhaust system for internal corrosion caused by condensation from short runs that fail to evaporate moisture. Structural integrity around the chassis and subframes requires close scrutiny for corrosion, as older Range Rover Sports can suffer from rust that an MOT might not always capture. Verify the condition of the tyres, as low mileage often means the rubber ages out before the tread wears down, leading to dangerous sidewall cracking.
