2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · D8 VEK

The 2018 Range Rover Sport presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 59,207 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 11 April 2024 at 52,929 miles confirms the vehicle entered its seventh and eighth years free of flagged advisories or mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 59,207 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,400 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model. The log shows 41,807 miles on 4 March 2023, rising to 52,926 miles by 10 April 2024 and 59,207 by May 2025; annual accumulation stayed near 11,000 then dropped to under 7,000, indicating no rapid wear cycle. The two failed entries on 4 March 2023 and 10 April 2024 list no defects, so the rejections stem from administrative or unrecorded non-mechanical causes rather than worn consumables or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the age and Land Rover's known propensity for air suspension and caliper binding. The clean MOT trail offers no advisories on exhaust emissions or underbody rust, yet eight years of UK road salt exposure can hide progressive structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes not caught in a pass-only test. Verify the 2023 and 2024 failure reasons with DVSA, as a no-defect fail often signals a documentation mismatch or withdrawn test rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to test standard, but the sparse history leaves tyre condition, wiper blades, and drivetrain health unverified beyond the recorded dates.
