2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 55,669 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories for worn front brake discs and a severely deteriorated nearside front lower ball joint dust cover. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in previous years, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,185 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 22,428 miles, maintaining a steady progression of roughly 5,600 miles annually. However, the failure in the March 2024 test at 46,871 miles due to front tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests that the owner may neglect basic consumable checks until prompted by the MOT tester. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The deteriorated ball joint dust cover noted in 2026 is a precursor to ball joint failure if grease escapes and contamination enters the joint. Furthermore, the thickness of the front brake discs requires immediate measurement, as the tester already flagged them as worn and likely requiring replacement alongside the pads. Given the previous uneven tyre wear noted in 2024, a professional alignment check is also advisable to ensure no bent arms or worn bushings are causing premature degradation of new tyres.
