2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · T111 AAO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 at 134,991 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2026-03-20 at 134,969 miles ended in failure, though no specific defects were noted. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes in consecutive tests suggests inconsistent compliance with roadworthiness standards, potentially indicating unresolved mechanical issues or procedural variances during inspections. The trend does not clearly indicate improvement or deterioration, as the latest result is neutral but the immediate prior failure raises concerns about underlying systemic problems. The mileage progression shows a steady annual accumulation of approximately 6,750 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 20-year age. Tests were conducted annually between 2024 and 2026, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. The 2025-03-26 pass at 133,438 miles and 2024-03-28 pass at 131,815 miles indicate a generally stable maintenance record, though the repeated failures in 2025 and 2026 without recorded defects suggest possible oversight or minor faults that did not meet failure criteria. The MOT history lacks detailed technical findings, limiting definitive conclusions about component health. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and potential for wear. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, warrants scrutiny, as repeated MOT failures may hint at unresolved issues. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be checked, as older vehicles often develop corrosion or leaks. While the latest test passed, the prior failure and lack of defect details necessitate a thorough mechanical assessment to confirm the car’s reliability and identify any hidden faults.
