2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · J900 AAY

The 2018 Range Rover Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 49,208 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure entry on 5 July 2023 at 41,988 miles is anomalous as the DVSA record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed on the same date at the same mileage, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 6,151 across the eight-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 27,817 miles at the 8 July 2022 test, then 41,988 miles by 5 July 2023, a 14,171-mile jump in one year against the otherwise low-use pattern. From July 2023 to July 2025 the car covered only 7,220 miles, confirming a return to light use. The clean sheet across all tests means no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches were ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the air suspension and drivetrain, as Land Rover units of this era commonly develop leaks and caliper binding that a visual MOT check may miss. The low recent mileage and possible periods of standing raise the risk of perished seals and flat-spotted tyres not captured by the tester. Given the unbroken pass record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, though the 2022 to 2023 mileage spike suggests a period of harder use worth checking for premature wear.
