2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · EO59 FNG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression towards component age-related wear. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 77,360 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding worn suspension arm bushes and corrosion across all four arms. This represents a shift from the clean record in 2023, indicating that the suspension system is now reaching the end of its service life despite the low overall mileage. At 17 years old, this Land Rover Range Rover Sport has averaged approximately 4,550 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 2,500 miles driven between the May 2025 and May 2026. While low usage generally preserves the engine and drivetrain, older, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber components and oxidation of metal surfaces. The presence of corrosion on the suspension arms suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been operated in a harsh environment. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The recurring issue of a corroded nearside rear brake pipe appearing in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a persistent environmental fault that requires monitoring to prevent future fluid leaks. Furthermore, the failure in 2024 for a significantly worn offside front brake disc, followed by an advisory for pitted rear discs in 2025, suggests that braking components are being neglected until failure. The current advisories on the suspension bushes mean the vehicle will likely require expensive arm replacements soon to maintain handling precision and prevent uneven tyre wear.
