2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · KX11 UDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards mechanical wear in recent years. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 115,188 miles passed, it identified an oil leak under reason 8.4.1 (a) (i). This follows a similar advisory from September 2024 at 110,181 miles, indicating a persistent issue that has not yet been rectified despite the clean records seen in the preceding years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between 2021 and 2023, where the car covered only 729 miles over two years, suggesting it may have sat stationary or was used only for short trips during that interval. However, usage has increased significantly since August 2023, with over 11,500 miles clocked in the following year alone. This increase in activity often precipitates the appearance of the noted leaks as seals and gaskets are subjected to more thermal cycles and pressure. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the source of the recurring oil leak to determine if it is a simple valve cover gasket or a more significant engine crank seal failure. Given the age and model of this Range Rover Sport, the air suspension components should be checked for signs of sagging or leaking bellows, although these were not flagged in the recent MOT history. While the lack of structural corrosion or brake advisories in the history is a positive indicator, the transition from perfectly clean records to fluid-related advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical components will require more proactive monitoring.
