2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · M2 LTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, the failure in April 2026 at 137,695 miles reveals that the owner allowed the braking system to reach a critical state. The subsequent pass just two months later suggests the front brake pads and discs were replaced, but the presence of a supplementary restraint system warning lamp failure indicates an electrical safety fault that required immediate attention. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between April 2023 at 112,814 miles and April 2026 at 137,695 miles, the vehicle covered 24,881 miles, showing a steady rate of operation rather than long periods of neglect. This consistent use generally benefits mechanical components, though the high total mileage over 137,000 places significant stress on the complex air suspension systems and drivetrain components inherent to the Range Rover Sport. A buyer must verify that the airbag system fault was fully rectified, as intermittent warning lamps often indicate expensive sensor or module failures. The recent failure for pitted and worn front discs suggests the previous owner only addressed faults reactively, necessitating a check for brake caliper binding which could have caused uneven wear. Given the vehicle age and mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the air springs for leaks and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these are common points of structural fatigue on this model that do not always trigger a standard MOT failure until they become catastrophic.
