2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · H22 PAP

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent inspection on July 9 2024 at 173,628 miles without any recorded defects. While the history shows recurring failures immediately preceding passes in both 2023 and 2024, the owner has consistently rectified the identified issues. The lack of advisories on the latest MOT certificate suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components were in an acceptable condition at the time of the last test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered 5,268 miles, while an additional 4,914 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the July 2024 test. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation and fluid issues in older Land Rovers. The steady interval between tests indicates a proactive approach to annual compliance despite the two instances of immediate re-s test failure. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension system and bushings, as these are common points of failure on this model that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical. Given the high mileage, focus attention on the subframe for structural corrosion and check the suspension mounting bolts for play. While the MOT record is currently clean, the buyer must verify the oil leaks and wear on the drivetrain components to ensure the recent clean pass reflects genuine mechanical health rather than a temporary fix.
