2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · C2 DGM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 31 October 2025 at 73,211 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status following the rectification of previous failures. While the most recent test was clean, the tester noted that plastic and metal under-trays obscured several underside components, which limits the visibility of the chassis and drivetrain during the inspection. The maintenance trend appears to have recovered after a brief period of neglect identified in late 2024, where the vehicle failed its initial assessment due to suspension and braking issues. The recorded mileage of 73,211 miles over twelve years averages approximately 6,100 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a luxury SUV of this age. The history shows consistent annual testing between October 2022 and October 2025, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This steady accumulation of miles typically points to a vehicle that has avoided the common mechanical complications associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or degraded rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these were the primary areas of concern in the 2024 test cycle. Although the offside front suspension arm ball joint was rectified, the recurring wear on both front and rear brake discs suggests the vehicle may be approaching a point where these components require replacement to maintain optimal stopping performance. You should also verify the security of the offside side step, as the 2024 record highlighted a missing bolt and structural damage that, while deemed secure at the time, may have deteriorated further under continued use. Given the obscured underside noted in the latest test, a thorough inspection on a lift is advisable to check for any hidden corrosion or fluid leaks that the plastic shielding may have concealed from the MOT examiner.
