2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SUE 610R

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 October 2025, though the immediate failure on that same date warrants careful scrutiny. The initial rejection for an engine malfunction indicator lamp and excessive exhaust emissions points to a significant electronic or fuel system issue that was resolved within a matter of miles. While the final pass suggests the immediate fault was rectified, the transition from a clean pass in 2024 to a double-fault failure in 2025 indicates a potential decline in proactive maintenance standards. With a total of 48,663 miles over nine years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,400 miles annually, which is notably low for a Range Rover Sport. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent between 2022 and 2025, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity. This moderate rate of travel suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway work, though the low mileage does not exempt it from the wear typically seen on heavier luxury SUVs. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as these have been recurring themes in the history. The records show repeated advisories for thinning brake pads and worn discs between 2023 and 2024, confirming that the vehicle consumes braking components at a rate consistent with its substantial kerb weight. You must verify that the recent engine and emissions fault did not stem from a deeper issue like a blocked diesel particulate filter or sensor failure, which are common in low-mileage examples of this model. Check the suspension bushes and air struts for signs of perishing, as the age of the vehicle makes these rubber components prone to degradation regardless of the low odometer reading.
