2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Diesel · KX11 XLO

A clean sheet across five recorded tests defines this 2011 Range Rover Sport's roadworthiness history: not a single defect, advisory, or failure point appears anywhere in the DVSA record, and the latest examination on 17 December 2025 was a straightforward pass. The only anomaly is a failed test recorded on 11 December 2024 followed by a pass on the very same day, with no defects logged against either entry. This pattern typically indicates an administrative or procedural issue at the test station rather than a mechanical fault, since a genuine failure would ordinarily carry recorded defect items, and the immediate same-day retest pass supports that reading. Overall the trend is stable and unblemished, though buyers should note that an absence of advisories does not by itself confirm mechanical condition, only that nothing met the threshold for recording at each test. The recorded mileage of 75,895 miles over roughly fifteen years equates to around 5,060 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this type and age. The test dates show consistent annual presentation each December, with one additional test in January 2023, and no multi-year gaps that would suggest extended off-road storage. Low annual accumulation on a heavy vehicle like this means less wear on brake components, suspension bushes, and drivetrain parts than a higher-mileage equivalent, but it also means the vehicle has spent considerable time covering short distances or standing, so rubber components such as suspension bushes, hoses, and seals may have aged by time rather than by use. Given the absence of any flagged defects, buyer checks should focus on the systems most relevant to this model rather than on any recorded history. On a test drive, listen for knocks or clonks from the front and rear suspension over uneven surfaces, which would point to worn anti-roll bar links, wishbone bushes, or air suspension components, none of which have been flagged but all of which are age-sensitive on this platform. Check that the air suspension raises and lowers smoothly through its height settings without compressor strain or warning messages, and confirm the vehicle sits level after being parked. Braking should be assessed for pedal judder or steering wheel vibration under firm application, indicating disc wear or runout, and the steering should track straight without pull under braking, which would suggest a binding caliper. Examine the underside where possible for corrosion on brake pipes, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as corrosion is age-related and independent of mileage. Finally, verify smooth gearchanges from the automatic transmission under both gentle and firm throttle, and check for any oil misting or seepage around the engine and differential housings, since a clean MOT record does not capture developing leaks between tests.
