2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · GO04 MUD

This Land Rover Range Rover Sport has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, most recently passing on 2025-09-08. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern during standard roadworthiness checks. However, the most recent test occurred just over a year ago, placing it slightly outside the optimal window for current roadworthiness assurance. While this does not inherently indicate poor maintenance, it does mean the vehicle has not been formally inspected since August 2025, leaving a gap of approximately 12 months before the next mandatory test. The recorded mileage of 63,329 miles over a decade aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 6,333 miles annually. There are no irregular gaps or spikes in the MOT history to suggest prolonged periods of disuse or aggressive driving. The consistent annual testing intervals further imply the vehicle has been regularly driven and monitored, which generally correlates with better-preserved wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. That said, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—such as internal suspension deterioration or subtle corrosion—without a thorough physical inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise examining high-wear areas that often fall outside the scope of standard testing. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of uneven wear or fluid leaks, as these are critical for handling and ride quality. The braking system, including brake discs, pads, and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Structural integrity is another key area; check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as Land Rovers are prone to rust in these regions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, particularly for leaks or excessive rust, as this can impact emissions and structural soundness over time.
