2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.2L Petrol · MR52 LTN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in June 2024 at 105,986 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep. This lack of advisories suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to addressing the common wear and tear that typically affects vehicles of this age and model. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between July 2020 and June 2024, the car covered only 11,124 miles, showing very infrequent usage compared to the UK national average. While this low mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests—sometimes spanning only 400 to 500 miles—suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can occasionally lead to the drying of rubber seals or the degradation of fluids over time. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the specific vulnerabilities inherent to the Range Rover Sport platform. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the rear subframe and chassis mounting points, as MOT tests often miss surface rust until it becomes structural. Given the low annual mileage, the air suspension system should be tested for leaks or sagging when stationary, and the brake calipers should be checked for binding or seizing resulting from lack of regular use.
