2018 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred consumable upkeep. While the car passed its test in July 2024 at 62,374 miles, the tester flagged both thin rear brake pads and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2021 and 2023, suggesting that routine preventative maintenance may have been neglected as the mileage increased. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-annual use, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a steady progression in figures, moving from 27,993 miles in February 2021 to 62,374 miles in the most recent test. The gap of 15,090 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests indicates a period of higher usage, which generally reduces the risk of seized components in the air suspension or drivetrain components compared to stagnant-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads have not caused scoring or heat damage to the discs. Given the edge wear on the nearside rear tyre, a professional alignment check is necessary to rule out faulty suspension bushes or worn control arms causing uneven wear. While the history lacks structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check of the air springs for leaks or sagging, as these are common failure points on this model that do not always manifest during a standard MOT inspection.
