2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L Diesel

The 2017 Range Rover Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 August 2025 at 47,699 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 12 August 2024 at 43,478 miles and 22 August 2023 at 38,184 miles also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 22 August 2023, where the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows light use for a nine-year-old vehicle, totalling 47,699 miles or roughly 5,300 miles per year. The gap between the 13 April 2022 test at 31,553 miles and the August 2023 test at 38,184 miles covers sixteen months yet only 6,631 miles, consistent with low annual running. From 2023 to 2025 the car added 9,515 miles across two years. The history is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to chassis rust in damp conditions. The low standing mileage raises the risk of seized calipers, degraded suspension bushes, and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Although the MOT record shows no flagged wear, the same-day fail-pass in August 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA refusal notice to confirm no suppressed defect. Pre-purchase checks should cover drivetrain oil condition, coolant integrity, and brake binding after standing. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but nine years of light use demands verification that consumables were replaced on time rather than by mileage alone.
