2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · NV20 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-04 at 60,762 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded across the past two consecutive passes. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the 2024-04-04 failure at 49,054 miles—just two days before its subsequent pass—appears anomalous and likely due to a minor administrative or procedural oversight rather than a recurring mechanical issue. The absence of repeated advisories or defects over nearly two years indicates no obvious trend of worsening wear in critical systems like suspension, brakes, or emissions. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in high-mileage components such as coil springs, suspension bushes, or drivetrain joints, which may require closer scrutiny. The recorded mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,127 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests beyond the expected 12-month interval, though the rapid mileage jump from 49,054 to 60,762 miles between April 2024 and April 2025—approximately 11,708 miles in a year—could suggest either consistent heavy use or a period of higher mileage accumulation. The absence of failures during this phase implies the vehicle was maintained adequately during this period, but the sudden spike may warrant inspection of components prone to accelerated wear, such as brake discs and pads, tyres, and suspension linkages. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs for corrosion or fatigue, and suspension bushes for excessive play or cracking. The binding calipers or uneven brake wear advisories, though not present in this record, are common concerns for this model at this mileage, so brake fluid condition, disc thickness, and rotor runout should be checked. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes, as this model is susceptible to structural rust in wet conditions. Given the lack of advisories, the vehicle appears to have been kept in reasonable condition, but a professional inspection is essential to verify the integrity of less accessible areas.
