2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · MA53 CHR

This 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport holds a current MOT certificate that was successfully passed on the seventh of January twenty twenty-six with no defects recorded, following an identical clean pass in January twenty twenty-five. Reviewing the historical test data reveals a stabilising maintenance trend after a turbulent period between twenty-two and twenty-four. Earlier annual tests showed multiple failures and recurring advisories involving structural rubber components, tyre integrity issues, and braking system corrosion, but prompt rectification by subsequent owners appears to have successfully resolved these chronic issues, culminating in the two most recent fault-free inspections. With a recorded mileage of seventy-three thousand and thirty-one miles at approximately nine years of age, the vehicle has averaged roughly eight thousand one hundred miles per year, representing very typical, balanced usage for a luxury diesel or petrol sport utility vehicle of this calibre. This consistent annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing for prolonged periods, which generally helps maintain healthy battery charge levels, prevents premature brake disc corrosion, and keeps moving drivetrain components properly lubricated. However, this level of mileage also means that major factory-fitted mechanical consumables and suspension components have lived through a full medium-term service life cycle and will require careful scrutiny. Given the vehicle history, prospective buyers must pay particular attention to the front suspension setup, as the MOT records highlight a multi-year pattern of wear on the lower suspension arm bushes and castor arm bushes, which eventually escalated to major failures in early twenty twenty-five before being replaced. On your test drive, listen carefully for any knocking, clunking, or creaking noises when negotiating speed humps or rough road surfaces, and feel for any vague steering response or instability under braking that would indicate renewed bush deterioration or play in the ball joints. Furthermore, the historic advisories regarding corroded rear brake pipes and tyre structural damage mean you should thoroughly inspect the brake lines for surface flaking or pitting, examine the inner tyre shoulders for uneven wear caused by suspension geometry drift, and verify that all routine fluid changes and specialist servicing have been carried out on schedule.
