2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT4.4L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on 15 June 2026 at 49,276 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. A significant failure just six days prior on 9 June 2026 at 49,014 miles revealed a critical nearside rear tyre with exposed cords and an insecure front anti-roll bar. While these issues were rectified immediately, the failure indicates that components were only addressed once they reached the point of legal unsafety. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression between 2019 and 2026, with the car covering roughly 36,000 miles over seven years. While low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. The gap of nearly 7,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests is consistent with the low annual mileage. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the record shows a recurring offside front lower arm ball joint dust cover failure that was flagged in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests a pattern where rubber components are perished or cracking due to age and exposure rather than high mileage. The 2026 failure regarding the insecure anti-roll bar also necessitates a physical check of the mounting bolts and bushings to ensure no further play has developed. Given the low usage, the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the undershield, noted in 2019, should also be verified during a physical inspection.
