2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · C10 MAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of wear in the drivetrain and braking systems. The most recent test in September 2025 at 174,461 miles identified a slight play in the rear prop shaft bearing, an issue that was first flagged in 2021 at 144,863 miles. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of minor defects in the suspension and drivetrain components suggests a reactive maintenance approach where parts are only addressed as they approach failure or become necessary for an MOT pass. At 174,461 miles over 15 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a consistent pattern of annual MOT testing since 2015. However, there is a significant jump in mileage between 2018 and 2019, where the vehicle covered over 19,000 miles in a single year. This period of high usage correlates with increased frequency of wear-related items, such as tyres and brake components recorded in the subsequent years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and underbody. The record shows a chronic issue with corroded brake pipes, leading to failures in 2017 and 2018, and a near-failure in September 2024 at 168,229 miles. The buyer should check for further corrosion along all metal lines and joints. Additionally, the front anti-roll bar linkages and suspension bushes have appeared multiple times over the last decade, indicating that the suspension assembly is nearing the end of life. The prop shaft bearing and flexible coupling also require close scrutiny to ensure the noted play has not progressed into a catastrophic mechanical failure.
