2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · MB02 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 26 September 2023 at 94,224 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. The vehicle has maintained a clean technical record without recurring mechanical or structural failures throughout the documented inspection period. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between September 2020 and September 2023, the car covered just 11,295 miles, moving from 82,929 to 94,224 miles. While low mileage often indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also carries risks related to rubber degradation and fluid breakdown from periods of sitting stationary. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance stress. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the air suspension system and associated bushings, as the Range Rover Sport of this era is prone to perished components regardless of mileage. Check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the subframes and rear arches, as the MOT only checks for significant structural rust. Given the low annual usage, verify the state of the brake discs and calipers for corrosion from disuse and inspect the tyre sidewalls for age cracking in the rubber compound which may have perished with age rather than wear.
