LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT2010 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 106,440 miles, the tester flagged corroded brake pipes covered in grease from front to rear. This represents a progression from the March 2025 test, where the pipes were merely slightly corroded, and the March 2023 test where only the offside rear pipe was affected. The presence of grease on these components suggests previous attempts to mask corrosion or leaks rather than addressing the underlying metal degradation. At 106,440 miles, this Range Rover Sport has averaged approximately 6,650 miles per year over its sixteen-year life, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady between annual tests, with roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles driven between each MOT interval. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals, despite the corrosion issues common in older Land Rover vehicles. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake lines to determine the extent of the pipe thinning, as the recurring nature of this fault indicates the structural integrity of the braking system is nearing failure. The 2024 record also noted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and a perishing nearside rear tyre, which should be checked for further mechanical play or dry rot. Additionally, the persistent but minor oil leaks noted in 2022 and 2024 require a close inspection of engine seals and gaskets to ensure the leak is not escalating into a more significant mechanical failure.
