2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · FV06 LFR

Most recent MOT (31 Jan 2026 – PASS) The car passed its latest test at 146,426 mi, but the examiner recorded a number of advisory items. The front brake discs are worn and pitted, the front brake pipe is corroded, and the front tyres are close to the legal limit. The steering column flexible coupling shows slight deterioration, and both front suspension arm pins/bushes are worn. These are not failures, but they point to components that will need attention soon. Recurring pattern Across the last four years the same groups keep re‑appearing: Brake system – front discs/pads and brake pipe corrosion are noted every year; rear brake pipe corrosion and rear disc wear also appear. Tyres – front and rear tyres repeatedly flagged as worn or slightly damaged. Steering/ suspension – the steering column coupling and front suspension arm pins/bushes are consistently listed as deteriorating. Fuel‑tank support – corrosion was first noted in 2023 and persists. Prop‑shaft coupling – a serious advisory in the 2024‑02‑02 failure (excessively deteriorated bearing) has not re‑appeared but remains a latent risk. Trend The record moves from mostly advisory notes (2025‑2026) to a full failure in early 2024, mainly because the prop‑shaft coupling condition crossed the failure threshold.
