2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SP10 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a history of initial test failures. The most recent inspection on 15 January 2026 at 53,391 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This mirrors the pattern seen in January 2025 at 49,083 miles, where the vehicle failed initially but passed shortly after. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three passes suggests that once immediate mechanical issues are addressed, the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,337 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 44,650 miles and the January 2025 test at 49,083 miles, the car covered 4,433 miles. This low usage suggests infrequent operation which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluids due to age and periods of use rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the air suspension system and bushings, as low-frequency use often causes perished rubber and hydraulic leaks in Range Rover components. The MOT record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, but the age of the vehicle makes the condition of dry brake seals and seized calipers a concern. Given the low mileage, verify that the tyres are not suffering from age-related cracking, as these components often fail on vehicles that have not been subjected to regular thermal cycles.
