2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · FN56 UEK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-07-18 at 235,561 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Prior tests in 2023-07-21 (225,019 miles) and 2022-07-22 (206,431 miles) also passed, though a failed test on 2023-07-19 (225,014 miles) occurred just two days earlier. While the failure lacks defect details, the subsequent pass suggests any issues were resolved. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the latest records implies consistent upkeep, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 235,561 miles over 20 years aligns with an average of 11,778 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. A notable jump from 206,431 miles in 2022 to 225,014 miles in 2023 reflects a 18,583-mile increase in 12 months, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOTs. The 2024 test at 235,561 miles shows a 10,547-mile rise from 2023, consistent with annual usage. The MOT history is sparse but clean, with no major defects flagged in the last three years, suggesting the owner prioritized compliance over proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly worn bushes and coil springs, common in high-mileage Land Rovers. The braking system, including caliper binding and brake disc thickness, requires verification, as does the exhaust emissions system for corrosion or leaks. Structural integrity checks for rust or panel damage are advisable, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT records show no immediate red flags, the 2023 failure and high mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
