2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 79,757 miles showed a pass despite a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where multiple consumable items were flagged simultaneously. While the vehicle has passed inspections, the trend suggests components are being run until failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 8,210 miles between the June 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by another 8,330 miles between the July 2024 and 2025 entries. This steady usage suggests regular road miles, yet the accumulation of wear on the tyres and brake components in 2024 indicates that service intervals for basic consumables may have been neglected until they reached a failure point. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system, as the pitted and scored discs along with thin pads recorded in 2024 suggest a history of heat stress or delayed replacement. The suspension requires close attention; the deteriorated ball joint dust cover noted in 2025 is a precursor to ball joint failure which can lead to steering instability. Furthermore, given that all four tyres were at or near the legal limit in 2024, the current tread depth should be checked for uneven wear, which would indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushings.
