2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · LD16 OKZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in suspension and brake-related wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 106,290 miles flagged multiple issues including a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, worn suspension arm bushes, and thin rear brake pads with pitted discs. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of these mechanical faults across several years suggests that components are being addressed only when they reach inspection limits rather than through a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. There was a significant jump in usage between October 2021 (44,803 miles) and October 2022 (61,650 miles), where the car covered over 16,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage has remained steady, with roughly 9,000 miles added between each annual test. This consistent use places predictable stress on the complex rubber suspension components and braking system typical of a heavy Range Rover Sport. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a persistent history of failure in ball joints, bushes, and dust covers dating from 2022 through 2025. The offside front CV boot was noted as severely deteriorated in two consecutive tests, which poses a high risk of imminent drive shaft failure. Furthermore, the rear braking system requires immediate attention; the transition from thin pads in 2023 to pitted and scored discs in 2025 indicates the hardware is nearing the end of its functional life and likely requires replacement to ensure effective stopping performance.
