2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · LN11 AAA

A consistently clean MOT record across five consecutive annual tests indicates no safety‑critical defects have been recorded to date, with the latest pass on 9 July 2025 confirming the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that time. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests that, at least at each test point, the core systems – brakes, suspension, lights and emissions – were judged to be within acceptable limits. At 73,818 mi the Range Rover Sport averages roughly 9,200 mi per year since its 2018 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a premium SUV. The MOT history shows no gaps, implying the vehicle has been kept on a regular testing schedule without prolonged off‑road periods that could conceal latent corrosion or fluid degradation. This steady accumulation points to a moderate wear profile for consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread and suspension bushings. When you inspect the vehicle, pay particular attention to the front and rear suspension components: listen for clunks or knocks when traversing bumps, and feel for any looseness in the steering column or wheel wobble at higher speeds, which could signal worn control arm bushings or deteriorated coil springs. Examine the brake system for consistent pedal travel and firm feel, and test for any pulsation or noise that might reveal emerging disc warping or pad glazing, even though none were flagged at MOT. Check tyre wear patterns for asymmetry that could indicate alignment drift or uneven suspension wear. Given the lack of recorded defects, the focus should shift to typical wear items that MOT testing does not always capture in depth. Verify that there are no external oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the chassis, and confirm that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive rust that could affect emissions compliance. A short road‑test should reveal any abnormal engine noises, transmission shifting irregularities or vibration that might point to drivetrain wear not yet evident in the MOT record.
