2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · WF56 XMD

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of declining maintenance standards based on the most recent period-specific testing. While it passed its last MOT in July 2023 at 153,749 miles, it had failed a test just 11 miles prior. This failure revealed critical safety defects, including an offside front tyre with exposed cords and non-functional headlamp and stop lamps. Although these specific items were rectified for the re-test, the presence of pitted and scored brake discs on both axles, alongside a persistent minor oil leak, suggests that reactive maintenance has replaced proactive preventative care since the previous clean records. At 153,749 miles over 19 years, the Range Rover averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage. The data shows a period of high stability between 2019 and 2021, where the vehicle passed two tests with no recorded defects. However, the jump of 8,669 miles between November 2022 and July 2023 coincides with the sudden appearance of multiple mechanical and lighting failures, indicating the vehicle has undergone significant stress during that interval. Given that the last MOT was conducted nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for testing and its roadworthiness is unverified. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the braking system for further corrosion, as the pitting noted in 2023 indicates the discs were nearing replacement. The recorded oil leak requires a close inspection to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or a more costly seal issue. Furthermore, the age and mileage demand a thorough check of the air suspension components and structural integrity, as these are common points of mechanical failure on this model at this mileage.
