2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · AN07 ABP

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed on 21 January 2026 at 87,849 miles with no defects recorded. Given today’s date of 8 August 2026, that test is roughly six and a half months old, so the current certificate remains relatively fresh. The history shows two immediate pre-test failures on 7 January and 19 January 2026, both at similar mileages and both logged without any specific defects detailed. This pattern is unusual but suggests minor rectification work or administrative handling before the final clean pass. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recorded advisories or structural concerns across the last three passes. The mileage pattern is steady and moderate for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The September 2024 test recorded 81,641 miles, the September 2025 test recorded 86,035 miles, and the January 2026 test recorded 87,849 miles. That translates to around 4,394 miles in the first year and roughly 5,708 miles over the following sixteen months, which is slightly below the expected average of approximately 7,321 miles per year. The gap between September 2025 and January 2026 shows only about 1,800 miles of use, indicating light daily running rather than heavy motorway work. Nothing in the mileage accumulation suggests prolonged standing or severe commercial duty. Because the DVSA record contains no advisories or listed defects, it offers no specific mechanical red flags. Still, a buyer should personally inspect the suspension components, particularly the air springs, lower arm bushes, and anti-roll bar drop links, all of which are common wear items on a Range Rover Sport of this age and mileage. Brake discs and pads deserve a close look for lip wear or binding calipers. The underside should be checked for corrosion around subframe mounts and suspension pick-up points, even though structural rust is less typical on this model. The absence of any advisory history is reassuring, but a professional pre-purchase inspection remains a sensible step given the vehicle’s year and recorded mileage.
