2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · M21 MBR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-25 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent passing trend over the last three tests. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of specific fault codes means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints were not explicitly tested for wear. The single failure on 2023-09-28—with no recorded defects—implies either a minor administrative oversight or a non-mechanical issue, as no mechanical faults were documented. Overall, the pattern indicates stable roadworthiness, but the absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee hidden wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 97,051 miles over approximately 12 years reflects an average annual distance of around 8,088 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation between tests, though the 2023 failure on 2023-09-28—just one day before the subsequent pass—suggests either a rushed retest or a non-mechanical issue. The consistent mileage progression implies the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some corrosion risks but does not preclude wear on suspension or drivetrain components over time. Given the lack of advisories or repeated failures, the most critical areas for a buyer to inspect in person would be the suspension system, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and rotor warpage, should be closely examined, as the absence of failure codes does not confirm their condition. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, while the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The engine bay should also be inspected for fluid leaks, as these are often overlooked in MOT tests but can indicate broader maintenance neglect.
