YX07 AHA MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (YX07 AHA) between March 2022 and March 2023.
The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 28 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The severe mileage discrepancy in the MOT history suggests potential clocking or significant data errors, making this a high-risk purchase.
The primary focus for any buyer must be the mileage discrepancy. You must demand a full, documented service history to verify the actual mileage of this vehicle. If the seller cannot provide a paper trail that explains how the mileage dropped from 162,763 to 45,448 in a single day, you should walk away from the deal immediately.
Given the age of this 2007 model, ensure you check for evidence of major component replacements. At the higher mileage figure (162k), items like the turbocharger, suspension bushings, and DPF would likely have required attention. Negotiate heavily based on the uncertainty of the vehicle's true usage and the inherent risks of an older luxury diesel SUV.
Owning a 2.7L diesel Range Rover Sport from 2007 involves significant overheads. Fuel economy is typically low for a vehicle of this weight, and the older diesel engine will fall into a higher CO2 emissions tax bracket, leading to substantial annual VED costs.
Insurance for this model is generally high due to repair costs and the vehicle's profile. Maintenance is the biggest variable; while basic servicing is standard, the cost of replacing air suspension components or engine peripherals on a vehicle of this age can easily exceed the car's market value.
Start by scrutinising the odometer and comparing it against the MOT history records. Specifically, investigate the transition between the March 27th and 28th, 2023 entries to determine if the 45,448 figure was a clerical error or an indication of an odometer change.
Inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, which is common for 2007 models. Check the operation of the air suspension for leaks or 'sagging' after the car has been parked overnight. Finally, check the engine bay for oil leaks around the 2.7L diesel unit, as these are common failure points for high-mileage examples.
This 2007 black Range Rover Sport 2.7 diesel presents a major red flag regarding its odometer readings. While the vehicle has a history of passing MOTs, the mileage recorded in March 2023 (45,448 miles) is drastically lower than the 162,763 miles recorded just one day prior. This inconsistency, combined with the age of the vehicle, significantly impacts its value and trustworthiness.
The early Range Rover Sport models are known for their luxury and capability but often suffer from expensive electronic and suspension failures as they age.
