2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SH60 OOA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-12-02 at 131,515 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test on 2025-11-28 at 131,448 miles, which also reported no defects. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 showed consistent passes with no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite the recent failure. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test suggests the car meets current roadworthiness standards, though the unexplained failure in November 2025 warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 8,220 miles annually over 16 years, reflecting typical usage for the vehicle’s age. Gaps between MOTs, such as the 11-month interval between 2023-12-06 (119,201 miles) and 2024-11-18 (125,630 miles), suggest periods of reduced activity, which could affect components like suspension bushes or engine longevity. The 2025-11-28 failure occurred just four days before the subsequent pass, raising questions about potential temporary issues or procedural anomalies. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, implying no systemic mechanical failures. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age, and verify the condition of brake components, as these are common wear points in high-mileage SUVs. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system should also be checked, as these can develop over time without immediate MOT consequences. The lack of recorded issues is positive, but the November 2025 failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT records.
