2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred mechanical component replacement. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 100,768 miles, the record reveals recurring issues with braking and suspension components that persisted across multiple previous tests. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of failures in 2024 suggests that the owner began only addressing faults upon MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 12,000 miles between the September 2023 test at 78,080 miles and the October 2024 test at 90,163 miles, followed by another 10,600 miles to the latest record. This steady usage explains the accelerated wear observed on the heavy-duty braking system and suspension assemblies typical of a Range Rover Sport chassis. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The tester flagged the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover as severely deteriorated in both 2024 and 2025, while the nearside rear lower arm bush showed persistent wear. These faults indicate that the rubber components are reaching the end of their life and will soon lead to handling instability. The braking system also requires immediate attention, as the 2025 report noted thin pads on all wheels along with pitted and scored front discs, suggesting a full brake overhaul is likely overdue.
