2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OV64 ABZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 71,684 miles followed a failure just one day prior due to an offside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged multiple tyres as being worn close to the limit or unevenly, suggesting that the owner only replaces consumables when forced by an MOT failure rather than on a regular service schedule. At 71,684 miles, the Range Rover shows low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. However, the data shows significant gaps in usage, most notably a two-year period between April 2019 and March 2021 where the vehicle covered only 8,424 miles. These periods of standing often correlate with the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with corroded brake pipes in 2021 and perished tyres in 2019. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushings. The nearside front lower suspension arm bushes were flagged in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a persistent issue that was not fully rectified. Furthermore, the 2022 failure for a damaged offside rear inner suspension arm and a detached front inner bush suggests the vehicle has been subjected to significant stress or neglect which may have compromised the structural integrity of the suspension assembly. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The record shows consistent corrosion on the rear brake pipes back to 2021 and worn brake discs noted across 2023 and 2024. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and component failures, the buyer should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the brake lines are free of internal corrosion, as the low mileage does not protect these hydraulic components from age.
