2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · 4700 MT

The 2014 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean MOT test on 21 January 2026 at 44,117 miles with zero defects. The vehicle has overcome a period of neglect noted in early 2024, demonstrating a clear resolving trend regarding its previously flagged braking and tyre wear issues. The absence of any advisories or defects in the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that the necessary remedial work was completed and the vehicle has since been maintained to a high standard. Covering roughly 3,676 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan, this vehicle has seen exceptionally light use. The mileage accumulation remains consistent, jumping from 29,298 miles in February 2022 to 41,009 miles by January 2025, before adding just over 3,000 miles in the subsequent twelve months. Such low annual mileage suggests extended periods of standing, which typically risks causing flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and dried-out suspension bushes. Despite this, the recent MOT records show no evidence of these standing-related mechanical failings. Prospective buyers must inspect the undercarriage and wheel arches closely, specifically targeting the rear braking components. In the January 2024 test at 37,478 miles, the tester flagged corrosion on both rear brake pipes obscured by grease or other material. A physical inspection is required to verify the current condition of these pipes, ensuring the corrosion was properly treated or the lines replaced, and to check the rear brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. The rear tyres also warrant close scrutiny; both were worn close to the legal limit and on the edges during the 2024 test, suggesting potential tracking issues or prolonged underinflation that may persist if not corrected. Evaluating the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related deterioration is also prudent given the vehicle's tendency to stand idle.
