2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · J31 MDA

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 July 2025 at 80,796 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior passes in July 2024 and July 2023 also carried no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The record indicates a consistent, low-fault pattern rather than an escalating defect cycle. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,977 per year against the 9-year age, a typical use profile for this model. The odometer moved from 54,437 miles in July 2023 to 68,993 miles by July 2024, then to 80,796 miles by July 2025, equating to about 14,000 and 12,000 miles in the respective years. This is moderately above the long-run average but shows no sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with no advisories logged at any stage. Two failed tests precede the passes by one day each, on 3 July 2025 at 80,795 miles and 28 June 2024 at 68,706 miles, yet both list no defects recorded. Such entries usually reflect administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical failure, though the buyer should confirm the failure reasons via the full DVLA failure sheet. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust faults, the history implies basic upkeep was maintained. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity underneath, check for early coil spring fatigue and subframe corrosion common on this platform, and confirm brake caliper operation. The clean record offers reassurance, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent on a high-mass SUV of this mileage.
