2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OR55 CAB

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the Range Rover Sport passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 107,100 miles, it had failed that same test due to significant structural corrosion on the nearside rear integral body structure. The tester noted that the rigidity of the assembly was significantly reduced from the inner to the outer sills, indicating deep-seated rust that may have been addressed or treated just in time for the re-test pass. At 107,100 miles over 15 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,140 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a luxury of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,200 miles covered in the following year. However, the low annual mileage has not translated into better mechanical care, as the record reveals a pattern of neglecting basic safety items and critical structural components. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the rear chassis and sills, as the level of corrosion flagged in 2025 suggests a high risk of future structural failure. The history also shows a recurring failure to monitor consumables and braking components. In September 2023, the vehicle failed with exposed tyre cords and brake pads below the legal limit, and by September 2025, the front brake pads were again dangerously thin and tyres were nearing the limit. This indicates the previous owner only performed maintenance when forced by a test failure, which often leads to hidden wear on suspension bushes and drivetrain components not covered by the MOT.
