2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · KP53 DBS

The latest MOT test conducted on 1 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the five-year history, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable for a vehicle of this complexity. The absence of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension defects across multiple tests suggests a consistent standard of upkeep and a vehicle that has been maintained to a high roadworthiness standard. The recorded mileage of 100,094 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 11,122 miles. This is considered typical for a luxury SUV of this age, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway use. While the mileage is not excessively high, crossing the 100,000-mile threshold marks a critical transition point where long-term wear on drivetrain components, air suspension systems, and engine seals becomes more prevalent, necessitating a shift from basic servicing to more proactive component replacement. Given the clean MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical failures to flag, although the 2024 advisories regarding rear tyre wear on the edges indicate a potential issue with wheel alignment or uneven loading. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any abnormal humming or droning from the rear axle and visually inspect the current tyre tread for irregular wear patterns, which could point to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking. Particular attention should be paid to the operation of the air suspension, ensuring the vehicle raises and lowers smoothly without hesitation or audible leaks, as these systems often degrade around this mileage. Beyond the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on calendar-based degradation and high-mileage wear. Verify the service history for evidence of timely transmission fluid and differential oil changes, as these are often overlooked but critical for longevity. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear or surface corrosion and check the condition of the 12V battery, as modern Range Rovers are highly sensitive to voltage drops. Finally, examine the engine bay for any signs of oil seepage around the gaskets and check the coolant condition to ensure the cooling system remains efficient under load.
