2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · RV06 ECW

This 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on June 25, 2026, roughly two months prior to the current date. The maintenance trend displays a persistent pattern of structural corrosion and suspension wear that demands careful financial budgeting. While the vehicle successfully cleared its latest test, the examiner logged multiple advisories concerning corroded brake lines, widespread underbody structural corrosion, and worn suspension bushes. The vehicle has accumulated 128,148 miles over its twenty-year lifespan, averaging a modest 6,407 miles annually. This usage rate sits well within typical expectations for a large diesel or petrol luxury SUV of this era. The test intervals reveal consistent annual submissions with no suspicious gaps in the timeline, indicating the vehicle remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically examining the inner sills and lower suspension arms for flake rust and structural degradation. The MOT history highlights recurring corrosion across the rear suspension components and underbody structure since at least February 2023, pointing to an ongoing aging process that requires preventative treatment. Braking components also warrant close scrutiny given the record of pitted discs, worn pads, and a dangerous classification in May 2025 for friction material dropping below 1.5 millimetres. The recent June 2026 advisory noting a greased or corroded brake pipe reinforces the need to inspect the hydraulic lines for leaks or degradation. Addressing these underlying chassis and braking defects will likely require substantial mechanical investment in the near future.
