2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · 97 AXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening structural and fluid system degradation. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 120,538 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced new advisories regarding pitted brake discs and structural corrosion. The persistent presence of general underbody corrosion and structural oxidation across multiple years suggests that the vehicle is entering a stage where material fatigue is a primary concern, despite the current structural rigidity remaining significantly intact. At 120,538 miles over 16 years, the Range Rover Sport has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-intensity usage for a luxury SUV. The record shows a significant increase in activity between February 2023 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in just fourteen months. This burst of mileage likely triggered the failure in March 2024, where the mileage of 107,077 miles revealed accelerated wear on rubber components and metal lines, leading to the power steering pipe failure. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the reported corrosion. The tester flagged corroded rear brake pipes repeatedly in 2023, 2024, and 2026, indicating that the braking lines are prone to rapid oxidation and require proactive replacement. Furthermore, the transition from slight power steering seepage in 2025 to a functional failure in 2024 suggests the steering system is reaching the end of its service life. The recurring inner-edge tyre wear from 2023 and the worn suspension arm bush in 2025 also point to alignment geometry issues that require professional attention to prevent premature damage to expensive tyres.
