2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · MB11 ALJ

A recurring pattern of front suspension deterioration defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, specifically regarding the lower suspension arm pins, bushes, and ball joint dust covers which caused failures in 2022 and 2023. This trend of front-end wear has stabilised in recent years, with the most recent tests in November 2024 and September 2025 returning clean passes with no defects recorded. The recorded mileage of 117,761 miles over thirteen years represents a typical annual usage rate of approximately 9,059 miles. At this mileage, the vehicle has entered a phase where rubber components and suspension linkages are subject to natural fatigue, which aligns with the specific failures recorded in the MOT history. The consistency of the mileage accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of dormancy. Attention should be directed toward the front suspension during a physical inspection and test drive. Listen for audible knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces and assess the steering for any instability or pull, as these can indicate that the previously replaced suspension arm bushes or pins are wearing again. Additionally, the history of repeated advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit and incorrect rotation necessitates a close examination of the current tyre condition to ensure there is no irregular edge wear, which would suggest ongoing alignment issues.
