2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on June 18, 2026 at 147,099 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the history reveals a lapse in preventative care during mid-2025. The vehicle failed an inspection early that year due to critical safety defects including thin brake pads, a split CV boot, and a missing wheel fixing. Although these issues were rectified to pass the subsequent retest, the failure suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults rather than performing proactive scheduled maintenance. At 147,099 miles over fourteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a premium SUV of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 9,000 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,700 miles in the final year. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been driven frequently, which is generally beneficial for preventing seals and components from drying out due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the tyre condition, as the June 2026 test flagged both the nearside front and offside rear tyres as worn on the edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention to prevent premature wear. Given the previous failure of the nearside CV boot, the buyer should also inspect all drive shaft boots for signs of grease leakage or rubber cracking, which would lead to an imminent joint failure. The high mileage and age make a thorough check of the structural integrity and air suspension components essential, as these areas were not explicitly detailed in the recent clean advisories.
