LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2016 · 3.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 102,023 miles was a pass, it carried a recurring advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern seen in July 2024 where the vehicle initially failed significantly due to multiple mechanical and safety faults. The trend suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled maintenance intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. The car moved from 87,118 miles in June 2022 to 97,172 miles in July 2024, showing a steady usage of roughly 5,000 miles per six months. The subsequent 4,851 miles covered between July 2024 and June 2025 indicates typical annual-distance driving, which places consistent stress on the heavy-duty components characteristic of the Range Rover Sport. A buyer must scrutinise the suspension and braking systems in person. The July 2024 failure highlighted excessively worn hydro bushes on both front lower suspension arms, alongside thin brake pads and scored front brake discs. While these were rectified to pass the subsequent test, the recurring nature of thin brake pads between 2023 and 2024 suggests the previous owner ignored basic wear items until they failed. The previous failure of the engine MIL and the SRS warning lamp in 2024 also necessitates a thorough diagnostic scan to ensure these electronic faults were properly cleared and not merely masked.
