2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · E13 YDA

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend concerning its suspension components. While the car passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 103,787 miles, the record shows a failure just four days prior at 103,706 miles. The tester flagged play in both front lower suspension arm bushes and perished dust covers on the ball joints. Although the vehicle passed after these issues were addressed, the transition from a clean 2024 record to multiple suspension faults in 2026 indicates that wear on chassis components is accelerating as the vehicle enters higher mileage brackets. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical annual usage of approximately 11,500 miles. The vehicle has progressed from 45,605 miles in March 2020 to 103,787 miles in March 2026. This steady increase suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections maintained throughout the recorded period. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the front suspension geometry and condition. The recent failure regarding arm bushes and ball joint dust covers suggests that further deterioration of the front wishbones or control arms may be imminent. Given the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads, a thorough inspection of the entire braking system, including disc thickness and caliper condition, is necessary to ensure no further degradation has occurred. The 2023 advisory for a worn tyre edge indicates a potential history of minor alignment issues or uneven tyre wear. While the 2024 test was entirely clean, the sudden appearance of suspension play in 2026 warrants a physical check of all bushings, ball joints, and steering linkages to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive and that no secondary suspension faults remain unaddressed.
