2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YG14 AFZ

This Land Rover Range Rover Sport has a limited and inconclusive MOT history, with only a single test recorded on 5 February 2022 at 85,624 miles, which passed without any defects or advisories. The absence of subsequent tests—due overdue by nearly four years—means there is no evidence of recent mechanical oversight or corrective work. While the last MOT suggests the vehicle cleared basic structural and functional checks at that point, the lack of follow-up tests raises immediate concerns about whether critical components like suspension, brakes, or emissions systems have been properly maintained since. Buyers should treat this as a vehicle with an unknown service and repair history beyond that single pass, particularly given the age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 85,624 miles over approximately 12 years implies an average of around 7,100 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this class. However, the complete absence of MOT records between February 2022 and the present—despite the vehicle being legally required to undergo testing every 12 months—suggests either prolonged non-use, deliberate avoidance of testing, or potential registration irregularities. Without intervening tests, there is no way to confirm whether the vehicle has undergone necessary servicing, brake inspections, or suspension checks during this period. The lack of data also obscures whether the mileage has remained stable or if the vehicle has been driven significantly more recently, accelerating wear on high-mileage components. Given the sparse MOT history, an immediate priority for any buyer would be a thorough inspection of the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common points of failure in high-mileage Land Rovers. The brakes—particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, as these are often overlooked in vehicles with inconsistent maintenance. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, must be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust-related failures. The absence of advisories in the last MOT does not guarantee these areas are sound, but it does indicate they were not flagged at that time. Emissions and exhaust systems should also be inspected, as these are frequently tested and can indicate whether the vehicle has undergone necessary servicing. Given the lack of recent MOTs, buyers should assume these components may require attention.
