2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · JO51 KVR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-24 at 68,252 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-09-23 at the same mileage failed, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved between tests. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The absence of recorded faults in the latest test implies the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards, though the repeated failure at identical mileage raises questions about the testing process. The mileage progression aligns with an average annual usage of 7,584 miles, reflecting typical wear for a nine-year-old vehicle. Tests conducted annually from 2022 to 2025 show no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes, suggesting consistent usage patterns. The 2024 test at 60,746 miles and 2023 test at 51,544 miles both passed without issues, reinforcing the reliability of the maintenance history. While the data is clean, the identical mileage on the 2025 tests complicates interpretation, potentially indicating a retest following a failed initial assessment. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, as these components are prone to wear in high-mileage SUVs. The absence of recorded brake or exhaust defects does not eliminate the need to check for corrosion on underbody components, especially given the vehicle’s age. Visual verification of the exhaust system’s integrity and a test drive to assess brake responsiveness would provide further assurance. No structural rust or major mechanical faults are indicated in the MOT records, but physical scrutiny remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
