2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · R14 AAP

The most recent test on 30 October 2025 returned a clean pass at 46,531 miles, placing the vehicle in a roadworthy condition today. The maintenance trend appears stable over the last two cycles, yet the record reveals a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by rapid passes. In October 2025 the tester failed the vehicle at 46,524 miles only to pass it 21 days later with no defects recorded in the data. An identical sequence occurred in late August 2023, when a fail at 42,562 miles converted to a pass 11 days later at 42,564 miles. The absence of defect details for those failures limits diagnostic value, but the pattern suggests issues requiring immediate rectification before certification. Mileage accumulation remains remarkably low for a 2014 model. The odometer reads 46,531 miles against an age of roughly twelve years, averaging 3,878 miles annually. Between the September 2024 test at 44,490 miles and the October 2025 test the vehicle covered just 2,041 miles in thirteen months. The prior year saw a similar 1,926 miles between the August 2023 pass and the September 2024 test. Such limited use often masks deterioration in components that degrade with time rather than distance. A buyer should prioritise inspection of rubber and hydraulic systems. Low annual mileage accelerates perishing of suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls regardless of tread depth. Brake calipers and handbrake mechanisms frequently seize on vehicles that sit for extended periods, while exhaust systems rot from internal condensation. The two fail-to-pass events, though undetailed, warrant scrutiny of the braking system and underbody corrosion. Verify that the 2025 retest addressed a genuine mechanical fault rather than an administrative discrepancy, and confirm the structural integrity of the chassis legs and inner wings where Land Rovers of this era trap moisture.
