2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · GP66 FXJ

The 2016 Range Rover Sport presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 25 October 2023 at 26,785 miles passing with zero defects. Every recorded test since November 2019 has returned a first-time pass with no advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep across multiple years. The absence of recurring faults suggests no unresolved structural or mechanical deterioration has been flagged by testers during this period. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching ten years of age. Between the November 2019 test at 13,202 miles and the October 2023 test at 26,785 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 13,583 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 3,400 miles annually during that window. Prior to that, the annual accumulation was closer to 2,000 miles. This pattern points to either very light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can introduce its own risks despite the low recorded mileage. A clean MOT record does not eliminate the need for a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage Land Rovers that stand for long periods can develop seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and dried-out rubber components that MOT tests may not fully expose. The air suspension system, a known wear item on this model, should be cycled through its height settings and checked for compressor strain or slow leaks. Underbody corrosion, particularly around subframes and mounting points, warrants close examination even when no structural advisories have been recorded. Prospective buyers should also verify the condition of tyres, brake discs, and fluid service history, as infrequent use can mask consumable wear. A pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Range Rover Sport systems remains advisable, given the complexity of the vehicle and the potential for latent issues that a defect-free MOT history alone cannot rule out.
