2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · AC07 HGC

The 2018 Range Rover Sport presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 12 January 2026 at 97,736 miles. Every recorded MOT since 2022 has passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards. This unblemished record suggests diligent upkeep, though the absence of advisories on a vehicle of this age and mileage warrants careful physical scrutiny during any pre-purchase inspection. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's lifespan. Between the February 2022 test at 30,082 miles and the February 2023 test at 38,559 miles, the car covered a modest 8,477 miles. Usage escalated sharply thereafter; the vehicle traveled 18,485 miles in the following year, reaching 57,044 miles by February 2024, and then covered a substantial 23,379 miles to hit 80,423 miles by January 2025. The most recent year saw a slight reduction to 17,313 miles, bringing the current total to 97,736 miles. This trajectory confirms the vehicle has transitioned from light use to a high-mileage workhorse, accelerating wear on consumables and drivetrain components. Despite the flawless MOT history, the high annual mileage demands a thorough inspection of typical Range Rover Sport wear points. Buyers should closely examine the suspension bushes and air springs for deterioration, as high-mileage examples frequently suffer from leaks and cracking. Brake disc and pad condition requires verification, alongside a check for any binding calipers that might not have triggered a failure but could indicate impending seizure. Structural integrity around the chassis and subframes must be inspected for corrosion, while the exhaust system and its mountings should be assessed for leaks or degradation. A dynamic test drive will reveal whether the gearbox operates smoothly and if the four-wheel-drive system engages without hesitation, ensuring the mechanical reality matches the pristine paper trail.
