2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · J20 OAS

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-06-21 at 155,730 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failure entry with identical mileage and no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or duplicate entry. The prior test in 2023-06-21 at 147,102 miles was a pass with no defects, and the 2022-06-24 test at 141,655 miles also passed. The absence of defects in all recorded tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the lack of MOT data between 2024 and 2026 raises concerns about compliance and potential undetected issues. The mileage progression shows an average of 7,786 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 20-year-old vehicle. The 2023-06-21 test recorded 147,102 miles, followed by a 2024-06-21 test at 155,730 miles, reflecting a 8,628-mile increase over 12 months. This rate is consistent with normal wear but does not account for potential long-term degradation in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake systems. The absence of advisories or failures in the record suggests no immediate structural or mechanical risks, but the gap in testing since 2024 may mask emerging faults. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common on this model, and check for corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system. The brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time without regular testing. Additionally, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough examination of the drivetrain and electrical systems, which may exhibit latent issues not flagged in the MOT history. The lack of recent inspections means a professional mechanical check is essential to confirm continued roadworthiness.
