2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · E4 URT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-17 at 52,829 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior test on 2024-11-19 at the same mileage showed a fail with no defects noted, suggesting either an anomaly in testing or unresolved issues. Subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 at lower mileages also passed without defects, implying the car has generally met roadworthiness standards. The lack of recurring mechanical failures in the record suggests no immediate critical risks, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny for potential undetected issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 52,829 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,870 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation, which may lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as brake corrosion or suspension stiffness. Notably, the gap between the 2023-05-12 test (42,545 miles) and 2023-11-21 (44,127 miles) shows minimal mileage growth, followed by a sharp increase to 48,753 miles by 2024-11-19. Such fluctuations may reflect periods of storage or sporadic use, which could affect wear patterns on consumables and mechanical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The 2024 failure, though unexplained, highlights the need for a thorough check of brake components, including calipers and discs, for binding or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as rust or panel damage may go unnoticed in MOT records. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but in-person verification of fluid levels, tyre condition, and underbody corrosion is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
