2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Diesel · LF17 NJO

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 74,278 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a problematic period in late 2024. While the vehicle previously failed a test due to mechanical wear and a missing bolt, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests that the previous owner addressed the critical faults to bring the car back to standard. At approximately nine years old, the Land Rover's Range Rover Sport has averaged roughly 8,253 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The mileage data shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and the2024 tests, and another 8,165 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber components and fluid systems. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 records flagged both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes as worn. Although these did not result in excessive movement at the time, such components are common wear points on heavy SUVs and can lead to steering instability or uneven tyre wear. The history also noted thin rear brake pads in 2024, necessitating a physical inspection of the current pad thickness and discs to ensure they were replaced and are not suffering from binding or uneven wear. The 2023 advisories regarding front tyres worn to the legal limit and a nail in the tyre indicate a period where basic maintenance was deferred. Since the most recent test showed no tyre issues, a thorough visual check of the current tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls remains necessary to confirm there are no outstanding safety concerns. The previous failure for a missing wheel fixing in 2024 also highlights the need to verify that all wheel bolts are securely torqued and present across all axles.
