2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of wear within the front suspension components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 108,713 miles identified a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. While the vehicle passed the test, this marks the fourth instance of suspension bushing issues across the last five years, suggesting a reactive approach to maintenance where components are only addressed once they reach a threshold of failure rather than being replaced on a preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over its fourteen-year life. The records show steady accumulation between annual tests, such as the 15,325 miles driven between November 2023 and 2024, and another 13,276 miles between November 2024 and 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, though the low annual mileage still contributes to the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components seen in the report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension geometry, as the recurring reports of worn bushes and ball joints in anti-roll bars indicate a vulnerability to front-end wear. The 2023 advisory specifically flagged a corroded offside rear brake pipe covered in grease, which is a critical area that requires close inspection to ensure the corrosion has not compromised the integrity of the line. Additionally, the history of damaged tyres and inoperative lamps across multiple years indicates that the current state of consumables and lighting should be verified immediately for potential replacement costs.
