2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Petrol · LD67 UFW

The vehicle presents a strong mechanical record overall, with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 at 16,059 miles passed with zero defects, confirming that the single engine MIL fault identified on the same date was rectified within the same testing session. This clean pass, following an immediate retest, indicates the previous owner addressed the malfunction promptly rather than allowing a known fault to persist. The mileage pattern reinforces a picture of very light use. Over nine years, the vehicle has covered just 16,059 miles, averaging roughly 1,784 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are consistent, showing 1,636 miles between August 2022 and September 2023, then 1,636 miles again through to September 2024, and 860 miles in the final year to September 2025. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the odometer record. Such low annual mileage suggests the vehicle spent extended periods stationary, which carries its own considerations. Despite the clean MOT history, prolonged periods of inactivity warrant a careful physical inspection. Buyers should examine the condition of all tyre sidewalls and tread for age-related cracking, as tyres fitted when the vehicle was new in 2017 may still be in service despite having ample tread depth. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion and uneven wear, a common issue on lightly used vehicles where pads do not maintain consistent contact with discs. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for perishing from age rather than mileage. The engine management light fault recorded and immediately cleared in September 2025 is not a recurring concern, but a live diagnostic scan remains advisable to confirm no stored fault codes persist. Underneath, the subframe, sills, and exhaust system should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked on standing ground or used on salted roads sparingly. The Range Rover Sport's air suspension system should be cycled through its ride height modes and checked for compressor performance and air spring integrity, as these components can deteriorate with age regardless of mileage.
