2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · DS 7533

A sustained track record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This trend of mechanical stability was most recently confirmed during the inspection on 13 May 2025, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance with DVSA safety and emissions requirements over several years. The recorded mileage of 52,642 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,580 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests a consistent operational history without prolonged periods of dormancy or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this level of accumulation typically means that while primary drivetrain components remain within their mid-life cycle, wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and suspension bushings will be approaching their standard replacement intervals. Given the absence of flagged issues in the official history, there are no specific recurring failures to monitor, such as leaking air suspension struts or corroded brake pipes, which often appear on vehicles of this model. During a test drive, focus on the smooth operation of the electronic air suspension, listening for any unusual knocks or thumps over uneven surfaces that could indicate the onset of bushing wear not yet captured by a stationary test. Ensure the braking system is evaluated for consistency, feeling for any pedal judder or steering pull under heavy braking, which would suggest warped discs or binding calipers. While the emissions and structural integrity have passed without note, a physical inspection of the underbody for any fresh oil misting around the engine seals or gearbox would complement the clean DVSA record to ensure continued reliability.
