2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · AP07 APE

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport holds a fully roadworthy certificate with a stable, defect-free maintenance record. The tester passed the vehicle on 18 July 2025 at 42,184 miles with no advisories logged. Earlier examinations on 25 July 2024 at 33,393 miles, 28 September 2023 at 29,222 miles, 16 September 2022 at 22,370 miles, and 12 October 2021 at 16,657 miles each returned clean passes. Such consistency signals the previous keeper upheld rigorous pre-test preparation and likely addressed consumable wear before statutory deadlines. Recorded mileage remains markedly low for an eight-year-old premium SUV. The odometer climbed from 16,657 miles in October 2021 to 22,370 by September 2022, then 29,222 in September 2023, 33,393 in July 2024, and 42,184 in July 2025. Annual test intervals stayed within legal limits, showing no inspection gaps. This roughly 5,300 miles per year average suggests light commuting or prolonged storage, patterns that can mask standing corrosion despite spotless MOT outcomes. A buyer should still commission a physical appraisal of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the Land Rover's known exposure to structural rust when idle. The DVSA record flagged no binding brakes, exhaust emissions faults, or chassis degradation, yet moisture trapped in sills and subframes may evade a visual MOT check. Inspect underbody weld seams and tyre sidewalls for perishing, as low usage accelerates rubber degradation more than high-mileage flexing. Verify service history aligns with the low mileage to confirm the vehicle received fluid changes irrespective of deferred odometer gains.
