2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OY11 NSJ

The history of this Land Rover Range Rover Sport indicates a recurring pattern of failures immediately preceding successful tests. The most recent test on 01 July 2025 resulted in a failure, suggesting the vehicle currently possesses mechanical or structural defects that require immediate attention. Looking back, the vehicle also failed on 07 June 2024 and 04 February 2022 before passing their respective inspections. This cycle of failing followed by passing suggests a reactive maintenance approach where repairs are only addressed when necessary to pass the annual inspection, rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 112,290 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year over its 15-year life. This lower-than-average mileage for a heavy-duty SUV can reduce wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber component degradation, perish, and brake seizing. The gap between the April 2022 and June 2024 tests shows a period of potential neglect or infrequent use, which often leads to binding calipers and accelerated corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system in vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus their inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the frequent failures recorded. The Range Rover Sport of this era is prone to worn arm bushes, coil spring fatigue, and leaks that often manifest as MOT failures. Because the vehicle failed the July 2025 test, it is critical to verify the specific reasons for that failure and ensure the underlying issues have been properly rectified with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
