2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · BE57 PJC

The vehicle's current MOT status remains acceptable, having passed the most recent test at 93,207 miles on 2025-06-20, indicating that no critical defects have been recorded since then. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend, specifically concerning the front suspension components, which suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected over the past several years. The mileage pattern is characterized by significant accumulation within a relatively short timeframe, particularly noticeable between the 2024 and 2023 test dates. The rapid progression from 86,464 miles to 80,186 miles in one test, followed by a further drop to 80,157 miles, indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained at a standard interval. This rapid mileage increase is a primary red flag for the risk of premature failure in suspension bushings and bearings, which are prone to corrosion and binding under high mileage. Given the recurring issues with the front suspension arm ball joint dust cover, the brake pads, and the structural integrity of the chassis, a buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the condition of these critical components. The lack of a dust cover seal on the front suspension arm ball joint is a serious indication that the suspension bushings may have been replaced prematurely or that the seal has failed, leading to dirt ingress and potential corrosion. Additionally, the worn thin brake pads and the lack of a seal on the front suspension arm ball joint require immediate attention to prevent further damage to the braking system and the chassis itself.
