2005 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · J8 OXB

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthy status following a pass at 171,595 miles on 21 March 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable with no defects logged across the last three successful tests. A buyer should note the two failed tests in 2023 and 2024 returned no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 171,595 against a 21-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,171 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the June 2023 pass at 167,389 miles and the November 2024 failure at 171,527 shows only 4,138 miles added in seventeen months, suggesting reduced use or periods of standing. From the 2022 test at 161,439 miles to mid-2023 the car covered around 5,950 miles, a consistent low-rate pattern. The MOT history is clean of advisories and recorded defects across all entries. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the data. This absence means the record gives no evidence of worsening mechanical condition or skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain components given the high total mileage and Land Rover suspension complexity. The two zero-defect failures warrant confirmation that they were procedural rather than concealed faults. Verify underbody condition and brake caliper operation before purchase.
