2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · MS 5105

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 22 July 2026 at 90,711 miles passed, albeit with an advisory for the nearside front outer tyre worn close to the legal limit with small cuts on the outer wall. This suggests the overall roadworthiness remains acceptable, though the advisory indicates tyre maintenance has been a recurring concern. The trend in mechanical faults shows some instability: while the July 2025 test passed, the July 2024 test revealed a leaking brake pipe connection, and earlier failures in 2021 and 2024 highlight ongoing issues with braking components and tyre integrity. These points suggest sporadic maintenance attention rather than a consistent improvement or decline. Mileage accumulation aligns broadly with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 11,339 miles per year over eight model years. A notable jump occurred between the 2022 test at 59,091 miles and the 2024 test at 85,176 miles, indicating a significant increase in usage during that period. Annual testing since 2023 has maintained a steady record, with no gaps exceeding one year, though the rapid mileage growth in 2023–2024 may point to more intensive use or a change in ownership patterns. Prospective buyers should closely inspect the braking system, particularly the brake pipes and discs, given the history of hydraulic leaks and disc wear. Tyre condition warrants scrutiny, as multiple advisories for cuts and excessive wear suggest potential neglect or aggressive driving. Additionally, checking for signs of corrosion, especially around the rear brake areas where leaks occurred, and verifying the integrity of suspension components would be prudent. The absence of structural or exhaust-related advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but the cumulative wear on consumables and braking hardware should not be overlooked during a pre-purchase inspection.
