2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · ME11 ACE

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 33,854 miles and no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to the previous two years, which showed recurring mechanical issues. While the recent history indicates a period of neglect, the lack of defects in the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding faults and is now performing more consistent upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,762 miles per year. This usage pattern remained consistent between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 5,157 miles between 9,435 and 14,592 miles. However, there was a marked increase in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, with the mileage climbing 6,102 miles ( from 19,866 to 25,968. This period of higher activity correlates directly with the appearance of wear-related advisories recorded during that interval. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the record shows thin pads and pitted or scored discs in both 2023 and 2024. Although these were cleared as of the August 2025 test, a physical check is required to ensure the components were replaced with quality parts rather than merely resurfaced. The recurring issue of both front tyres reaching the legal limit in 2023 and 2024 suggests a previous pattern of deferring consumable maintenance until failure. Given the low annual mileage, the physical inspector should also check for rubber degradation in suspension bushes and seals, as long periods of standing can cause dry rot more quickly than high-mile usage.
