2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · NK14 KGP

The Range Rover Sport presents a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 131,848 miles with only minor advisories. The tester flagged an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and edge wear, along with rear brake discs described as worn but not excessively so. These are routine consumable items for a vehicle of this age and type, and neither suggests neglect or imminent failure. The record shows no dangerous defects, no structural corrosion failures, and no emissions or suspension rejections across the entire history. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. Between 100,151 miles in February 2023 and 131,848 miles in March 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 31,697 miles over three years, averaging just under 10,600 miles annually. This aligns closely with the 12-year average of approximately 10,987 miles per year. There is no evidence of long periods standing or sudden high-mileage bursts that would raise concerns about neglected servicing or accelerated wear. The annual or near-annual test pattern further supports regular use and upkeep. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and tyre condition. The March 2026 advisory on rear brake discs, combined with repeated advisories on rear brake pads wearing thin in February 2025, indicates the rear axle consistently takes a significant share of braking load. This is common in heavy SUVs with advanced stability and terrain systems, but it warrants checking disc thickness, caliper slide pin operation, and handbrake adjuster function. The offside rear inner tyre edge wear is a known indicator of suspension geometry drift. On a vehicle with air suspension and complex rear linkage, this could point to worn trailing arm bushes, deteriorated radius rod bushes, or misadjusted camber. A four-wheel alignment check is advisable before purchase. Beyond the flagged items, the repeated mention of undertrays fitted during tests in 2021 and 2024 suggests the vehicle has been maintained with protective covers in place, which is a positive sign for underbody condition. Still, a buyer should inspect the chassis rails, subframes, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, particularly around the rear where mud and road salt accumulate. Air suspension compressors, springs, and height sensors should be cycled through all modes. With 131,848 miles on the clock, drivetrain mounts, differential oils, and transfer case condition deserve attention, even though the MOT record itself shows no powertrain-related defects.
