2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · MB54 RTS

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 92,073 miles revealed multiple developing issues including a malfunctioning brake warning device, thin front brake pads, and perished front suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle passed, the density of these faults suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical components once they reach the point of failure or advisory status during inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between February 2024 at 56,267 miles and March 2026 at 92,073 miles, where the car covered nearly 36,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation correlates with the accelerated wear observed on consumables in the later records, specifically the transition from minor brake pitting to thinning pads and suspension degradation in the most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre alignment. The recurring reports of outer-edge tyre wear in 2025 and 2026 strongly indicate persistent alignment issues or worn control arms that have not been properly rectified. The brake system also requires close scrutiny; the history shows a pattern of pitted discs in 2022 and 2023 followed by thinning pads in 2026. The malfunctioning brake warning device must be diagnosed and repaired, as this leaves the driver without critical feedback regarding brake system health.
