2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OM51 ARY

The vehicle is currently in a passing state following its most recent test on 3 January 2026 at 93,812 miles, which showed no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving regarding mechanical leaks, as the rear differential leak noted in both the November 2023 and December 2024 tests is no longer flagged. While the vehicle has moved from a failure in late 2022 to a clean pass in 2026, the history shows a pattern of addressing specific component failures rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 63,589 miles in November 2022 to 93,812 miles in January 2026. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which typically helps prevent seal degradation and fuel stagnation. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to ensure the previous differential leaks have been fully rectified and not merely masked. The 2022 failure for excessive corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake pipes indicates a vulnerability to structural rust in the braking system. It is essential to verify that these pipes have been replaced with new, corrosion-resistant components and that no further oxidation is present on the brake lines or chassis. The suspension history also warrants attention. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint was flagged for play and a leaking boot in late 2022. While the 2026 test was clear, a buyer should check for any signs of play in the suspension bushings or ball joints, as these components often require replacement on high-torque SUVs like this Range Rover Sport.
