2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · STO 70H

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-05 shows the vehicle passed, but with several notable warnings. Both front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers are severely deteriorated, a serious safety concern indicating potential for contamination and premature joint failure. Rear brake discs are worn but not excessive, while rear brake pads are wearing thin. Both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit and show edge wear, reducing grip and increasing risk of blowouts. Looking at the trend, brake wear is progressing from front (2024) to rear (2025), suggesting uneven wear or possible underlying issues like brake caliper binding or suspension misalignment. Tyre wear has moved from front (2023–2024) to rear (2025), which may point to poor weight distribution, incorrect alignment, or suspension problems. The deterioration of ball joint dust covers in both front positions indicates a systemic issue that could worsen rapidly if not addressed. Mileage stands at 79,026 miles after nine years — roughly 8,781 miles per year — which is typical for this age. This suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing idle, meaning components have experienced regular wear. However, the progression of brake and tyre wear over time implies sustained driving without timely maintenance.
