2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · MA06 MHN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on January 21, 2026 at 152,304 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a period of instability in early 2025. While the car failed two consecutive tests in March of that year, the owner successfully addressed the underlying issues to secure a pass in April. The subsequent clean test with no recorded defects suggests that the mechanical concerns identified previously were rectified and subsequently maintained. The mileage profile is consistent with a 20-year-old Land Rover Range Rover Sport, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. This low annual mileage aligns with typical usage for a premium SUV of this age. The data shows a significant gap of 10,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 5,500 miles between April 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and preventing dry rot or brake-related seizing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension system and subframe mounting, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Land Rovers. Although the recent MOT is clean, the two failures in March 2025 indicate that the vehicle required specific attention to meet safety standards. Particular attention should be paid to corrosion on the rear subframe and wish arms, as structural integrity often degrades over time on this platform. Check for any leaks around the shocks or excessive play in the bushings to ensure the recent repairs remain effective.
