2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · M6 MTW

This Land Rover Range Rover Sport presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 107,746 miles showing no defects or advisories. The vehicle has passed every annual inspection since at least December 2021 without any recorded failures, indicating consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests that routine maintenance—such as tyre replacements, brake inspections, and fluid checks—has been addressed promptly by previous owners. However, the lack of detailed advisories in the MOT record means some wear items, such as suspension components or exhaust integrity, may not have been explicitly checked or documented. The mileage accumulation of 6,338 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting neither excessive use nor prolonged neglect. The most recent 4,000-mile increment between November 2024 (103,771 miles) and November 2025 (107,746 miles) reflects steady but moderate usage, which is typical for a private vehicle. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no sudden jumps that might indicate odometer tampering, nor prolonged gaps that could imply storage-related issues. The consistency in annual mileage increments also reduces concerns about deferred maintenance due to infrequent driving. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on areas not covered by the basic MOT test. Key components to scrutinise include the suspension bushes and coil springs , which are common wear points in Range Rovers and may not always trigger an advisory until advanced deterioration occurs. The brake system , particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as Land Rovers are prone to brake drag issues. Structural integrity, especially around the sill sections and wheel arches , should be assessed for hidden corrosion, as the MOT does not require a full underbody inspection. Additionally, the exhaust system —particularly the intermediate pipes and rear silencer—should be examined for cracks or leaks, as these can develop without being picked up in a standard test. While the MOT history is reassuring, the vehicle’s age and the Range Rover Sport’s known susceptibility to specific wear items mean a buyer should not assume the absence of advisories equates to a flawless mechanical condition. A pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist, including a compression test and fluid analysis, would provide greater confidence in the vehicle’s long-term reliability.
