2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · NK06 WXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of progressive mechanical and structural degradation. While it passed the latest February 2026 test at 135,839 miles, it failed the initial inspection due to mismatched tyres on the offside front and a deteriorated CV boot. The persistence of the deteriorated nearside front inner CV boot, dating back to January 2024, indicates a recurring issue that remained unresolved for over two years. At 135,839 miles over 20 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per annum. This rate is consistent with a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate use rather than long-distance commuting. However, theData shows a gap of nearly 2,600 miles between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,000 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation is typical for older SUVs but highlights the inevitable onset of age-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, as the MOT history consistently notes structural corrosion. While the rigidity is not yet deemed compromised, the presence of rust on the lower suspension mounting points at both the nearside and offside rear suggests that the process is active. Furthermore, the corroded nearside rear enough pipe noted in 2024 should be inspected to ensure the corrosion has not worsened to the point of imminent failure. Mechanical attention is also required regarding the drivetrain and engine seals. The central prop shaft bearing was noted with slight play in 2024, and oil leaks have been documented in every test since at least 2023. A prospective owner should verify the severity of these leaks and Ensure that the recently replaced CV boot has been fitted correctly to prevent immediate damage to the driveshaft.
