2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · 39 BB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the front suspension assembly. While the most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 43,113 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. This failure was triggered by a damaged nearside front tyre and wear on both the offside and nearside front control arm bushes. This indicates that the suspension components are now reaching the end of their functional life despite the relatively low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2022 at 24,903 miles and May 2024 at 31,876 miles, where the car covered fewer than 7,000 miles in seventeen months. Since then, the usage has remained consistent but light. However, the low-mileage-to-age ratio often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to আলোচনায়, which explains the recurring issues observed in the last three MOT tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the repairs made after the May 2026 failure were comprehensive. The tester flagged worn control arm bushes in both April 2025 and again in 2026, suggesting that previous interventions may have only addressed the symptoms or that the parts are failing rapidly. Check for any remaining cracking in the rubberwork and inspect for excessive play in the steering geometry. Given the recent failure for a tyre cut reaching the cords, verify the age and condition of all remaining tyres to ensure no further structural damage exists on the wheels.
