2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · R5 TEO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 recorded several defects, including nearside front tyre wear close to the legal limit, corrosion on the brake pipe, and suspension arm bush wear. The vehicle passed, but these issues highlight ongoing maintenance needs. The 2024-10-24 MOT failed due to severe tyre faults, including ply exposure and structural lumps, along with surface rust and non-compliant registration plates. This suggests a pattern of recurring mechanical and corrosion-related concerns. Recurring defects include suspension arm bush wear, tyre edge wear, and brake pipe corrosion. These issues have persisted across multiple MOTs, with the 2024 failure indicating more severe tyre degradation compared to earlier entries. While the 2026 MOT showed similar tyre and suspension issues, the absence of major defects in the 2023 MOTs suggests some stability in earlier years. However, the 2024 failure and subsequent repairs may not have fully resolved underlying problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,483 miles over 14 years equates to roughly 7,534 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, but the presence of corrosion and repeated suspension component wear implies potential long-term maintenance costs.
