2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT4.4L Diesel

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a failed MOT on 26 May 2026 at 80,588 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, moving from a clean record in early 2025 to a series of significant failures in the most recent period. The tester identified multiple high-priority defects including lighting failures, a structural tyre failure on the nearside rear inner tyre, and the presence of a rear oil leak. This indicates a lack of pre-test inspection and reactive maintenance rather than preventative upkeep. At 80,588 miles over nine years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium SUV. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,300 miles between April 2025 and May 2026. While the mileage is not excessively high, the frequency of mechanical failures suggests that components are reaching their wear limits despite the relatively low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record from February 2024 highlighted significantly worn brake discs and pads across all axles, while the deteriorated offside front suspension ball joint dust cover indicated ongoing issues with rubber arm components. The rear oil leak noted in May 2026 requires a close look to determine if the source is a minor seal or a more costly engine or differential housing failure. Given the structural failure of the nearside rear tyre, the entire set should be checked for age-related perishing, as the vehicle appears to have neglected basic consumable checks.
