2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · LC66 BHO

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport presents a clean MOT history in its most recent tests, with the December 2025 inspection at 68,184 miles showing no defects—a strong indicator of stable roadworthiness. The only irregularity in the past year was a failed test in late November 2024, yet this was not due to any mechanical or safety-related issues but rather an administrative or procedural oversight, as no defects were recorded. The December 2024 retest, just days later, confirmed the vehicle’s compliance with no further concerns. This consistency suggests the car has been well-maintained in critical areas, with no recurring advisories or failures tied to wear-and-tear components. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,800 miles annually. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—where mileage jumped from 52,537 to 58,859—implies a period of heavier use or delayed testing, though this is not unusual for a privately owned vehicle. The most recent 9,325-mile increase between December 2024 and December 2025 suggests the current owner has been driving it regularly without excessive strain. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest neglect or aggressive driving, though the lack of advisories in earlier tests means some wear items may have been addressed proactively. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the past two years, a buyer should still verify key structural and mechanical elements in person. Focus on the suspension—particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—since off-road vehicles like this are prone to wear in these areas. Check for any signs of binding in the rear brakes, as Land Rovers of this generation have occasionally shown premature caliper or pad wear. Structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, should be inspected thoroughly, as moisture retention in off-road models can accelerate rust. Finally, confirm the exhaust emissions system remains intact, as no recent tests have flagged leaks or catalytic converter issues, though this is a common failure point in diesel engines of this age.
