LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 86,174 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and a damaged nearside rear seat belt. These issues suggest that while the car is kept in legal order, mechanical components are only being addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 14 years old with 86,174 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,155 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity usage for a Range Rover Sport. The data shows a significant gap of 7,136 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 13,332 miles covered in the seventeen months leading up to the 2026 test. This irregular pattern of mileage suggests the vehicle may have faced periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of exposed braking surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record shows recurring issues with binding calipers and pitted discs, dating back to both 2024 and 2025. The failure of the offside front wheel bearing in early 2025 and the recent advisory on the anti-roll bar linkage indicate that the front suspension geometry is nearing the end of its service life. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear, as the January 2025 test flagged multiple tyres being worn on the edges, which often points to improper alignment or worn suspension bushes.
