2014 Land Rover Sport 4.4L Diesel · D5 RGW

The 2014 Land Rover Sport presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 44,640 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories have been raised at any stage, indicating the vehicle has met minimum statutory standards without intervention. Recorded mileage stands at 44,640 against an age of roughly twelve years, equating to about 3,720 miles per year. The test on 17 December 2021 logged 40,905 miles, rising to 42,591 by 15 December 2022, 43,436 by 6 December 2023, 44,090 by 13 January 2025, and 44,640 by February 2026. Annual accumulation stays below 1,000 miles throughout, with a near-dormant period between early 2025 and early 2026 adding only 550 miles. Such low use over a sustained span suggests extended standing rather than regular commuting. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories does not certify condition, only compliance at test. Low-mileage Land Rovers of this era commonly develop perished suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, and corroding brake discs through inactivity rather than wear. The buyer should physically inspect subframe and chassis members for structural rust, confirm brake calipers are free and not binding after the long rest, and check all fluid intervals given the limited running. Given the absence of recorded faults, no recurring mechanical pattern requires monitoring from the history itself. Pre-purchase examination should still include a scrutinised check of drivetrain seals, coolant condition, and tyre sidewall ageing, as these items degrade with time and standing irrespective of test outcomes.
