2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · E10 JBE

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status characterized by a significant decline in preventative maintenance standards. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 60,575 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior that revealed multiple mechanical and safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a list of critical failures in 2025 suggests a shift from proactive care to reactive repairs performed only when required for law. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,575 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The data shows a 7,176-mile gap between August 2024 and September 2025, yet the sudden appearance of corroded brake pipes, leaking ACE bars, and low coolant levels indicates that the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, leading to the perish of rubber-based components and the oxidation of fluid lines. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The September 2025 record flagged corroded rear brake pipes and corroded hoses, alongside a worn front lower suspension bush, which indicates potential future failure if not fully replaced. The leaking central rear ACE bar is a specific concern for this model, as these air suspension components are notoriously expensive to rectify. Furthermore, close attention should be paid to the front brake discs which were noted as pitted and scored, and the cooling system to ensure the low levels are not indicative of a persistent head gasket failure.
