2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · CY66 GDU

This Range Rover Sport passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with advisories, but the history reveals a specific and worsening trend in the front suspension. At 125,126 miles, the vehicle has recorded very high annual mileage recently, covering over 26,000 miles in the last year alone. This level of use suggests the car is likely a high-mileage workhorse rather than a lightly used commuter, which accelerates wear on consumables. The primary risk lies in the front suspension components. In 2024, the tester reported that the dust covers on the front suspension ball joints were severely deteriorated on both sides. By the 2025 test, this had progressed to the suspension arm pins or bushes being worn. This indicates that the failure of the protective rubber boots has likely allowed dirt and grit to enter the joints, causing the metal components to wear down. This pattern suggests the parts are nearing the end of their service life and may require replacement soon. Aside from the suspension, the vehicle has a mostly clean history. A failure in 2023 was caused only by a windscreen wiper not clearing the screen effectively, which is a minor maintenance issue.
