2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.9L Diesel · LE60 EGO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 19 December 2025 at 194,622 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The consistent pass history over the past five years—spanning tests in January 2024, January 2025, and December 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures or advisories. However, the absence of defects does not preclude underlying wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The latest test was completed just seven months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though the gap between the December 2025 and January 2025 tests suggests the vehicle was not driven extensively during that period. The recorded mileage of 194,622 miles over 15 years equates to an average of approximately 12,975 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the December 2021 (156,174 miles) and December 2022 (169,318 miles) tests, indicating around 13,144 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation may imply heavier usage or prolonged periods of active driving, potentially accelerating wear on suspension components, drivetrain, and braking systems. The regular intervals between tests—roughly one year apart—suggest the vehicle was consistently driven rather than stored for extended periods, which could contribute to higher mileage on consumable parts. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items typical of this mileage and age. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear, fluid leaks, or binding movement, as these components degrade progressively with mileage. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear patterns or signs of overheating, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, should be checked for corrosion, as Land Rover models of this era are prone to rust-related failures. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as older vehicles often develop pinhole leaks or weakened supports over time. While the MOT history shows no failures, these areas are critical for ensuring long-term reliability.
