2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YJ17 ACS

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 at 38,687 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a conflicting entry on the same date shows a failure with 38,686 miles, suggesting a data anomaly. No defects were noted in prior tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The absence of critical issues in all recorded assessments implies consistent upkeep, though the recent failure entry raises questions about administrative accuracy. The car’s mileage of 38,687 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 4,299 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage aligns with sporadic MOT testing, with gaps of 12–18 months between assessments. The 2024-06-25 test at 32,534 miles and 2023-06-28 at 30,568 miles show gradual mileage progression, but the extended interval since the 2025 test—over 10 months—deviates from standard maintenance practices. This pattern may indicate infrequent use or delayed inspections, potentially masking wear in components like suspension or brakes. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes lead to seized parts. Structural integrity, including rust or corrosion in body panels, is also critical, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate degradation. The conflicting MOT entry warrants verification with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’s compliance history.
