2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · P1 MYJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful retest on 31 July 2025 at 79,443 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the front suspension assembly. The tester initially failed the vehicle on this date due to a defective nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows a pattern of suspension wear noted in the July 2023 test at 66,262 miles, where the nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush was flagged as worn and the ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated. While the most recent failure was rectified to achieve a pass, the repetition of suspension component issues suggests a need for vigilant monitoring of the front-end geometry and rubber components. The vehicle has covered 79,443 miles over its 12-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,620 miles per year. This represents relatively low annual usage, which often correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain. The mileage progression remains consistent across the recorded tests, moving from 60,108 miles in July 2022 to 73,216 miles in July 2024, and finally to 79,443 miles in July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity which can lead to seized components or perished seals. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the front suspension system. Given the history of worn bushes and failing dust covers between 2022 and 2025, it is prudent to check for any play in the suspension arms and the condition of the rubber bushings. The brake system also requires scrutiny. The July 2023 record noted worn brake discs across all four corners, and the July 2022 test flagged thin brake pads. Although no brake defects were recorded in the most recent 2024 or 2025 tests, the previous pattern of consumable wear indicates that the braking system has been subject to regular use and should be checked for thickness and rotor surface integrity.
