2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · 4 MCP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to consumable wear rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 69,747 miles flagged thin front brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 where rear brake pads were also noted as thin, suggesting that components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds during annual intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered 13,000 miles. Since 2023, the accumulation has slowed to a steady rate of roughly 6,000 miles per annum. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle has sat for long periods between tests. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge in 2021, 2024, and 2026 point toward persistent geometry issues or worn bushes. The braking system requires a thorough check for seized calipers or uneven disc wear, given the history of thin pads across multiple axles. Additionally, the existing stonechip in the windscreen noted in 2024 should be monitored for spreading that could eventually compromise the driver's field of view and necessitate a replacement.
