2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · C6 PMU

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 September 2025. While the history shows a consistent pass rate over the preceding five years, there is a noticeable downward trend in the condition of the braking system as evidenced by the latest test. After several years of clean reports, the emergence of multiple advisories regarding brake disc and lining wear suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase of significant consumable depletion that has not yet been addressed. With a recorded mileage of 78,015 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,668 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the pitfalls of both excessive wear from high mileage and the degradation associated with prolonged standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the primary drivetrain components should remain robust, the vehicle is at a stage where secondary wear items and rubber components will require closer scrutiny. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The DVSA records indicate that both front discs are pitted and scored, while the rear discs are worn and the nearside front brake linings are thin. During a test drive, listen for grinding or squealing noises and feel for any shudder through the brake pedal, which would indicate significant disc warping or uneven surface wear. Given the extent of these advisories, a full replacement of the brake discs and pads across all four corners should be anticipated as an immediate post-purchase expense to ensure optimal stopping performance and safety. Beyond the brakes, attention should be paid to the tyres and suspension. Previous advisories regarding tyre perishing and sidewall damage on the nearside rear suggest a need to check all tyre date codes for age-related cracking, even if the tread depth remains legal. Furthermore, given the weight and complexity of the Range Rover Sport, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of splitting or corrosion. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, particularly the engine oil and transmission fluids, have been performed regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
