2018 Land Rover R Rover Sport HSE DYN SDV6 A 3.0L Heavy oil · DA68 HXJ

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 102,344 miles. The maintenance trend has improved over time, as the mechanical issues identified in 2022 have clearly been rectified. Since the October 2022 test, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive inspections without any recorded defects, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the initially flagged faults and maintained a consistent standard of care. The mileage pattern indicates high-intensity usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. While the accumulation is steady across the years, there was a particularly rapid increase of 11,934 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 12,515 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This consistent high mileage puts significant strain on the SDV6 drivetrain and complex air suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear axle assembly to ensure the 2022 leaks from the rear diff pinion and CV boot clips have not recurred. Given the high mileage and the age of the Land Rover Sport, a thorough check of the air suspension bellows and electronic actuators is essential, as these often fail at this interval. The brake system and tyre wear also warrant close scrutiny due to the heavy use, and one should verify if the service history reflects regular oil changes to protect the turbo-diesel engine under these high loads.
