2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Electric diesel · RF64 LLZ

A clean MOT record with no failures across eight consecutive annual tests is the defining mechanical story of this 2014 Range Rover Sport, and the latest pass on 16 June 2026 confirms that the vehicle continues to meet the statutory safety standards. The only blemish in the history is a pair of advisories recorded in February 2022 concerning wear on the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes; these did not trigger a failure at the time but were flagged for future monitoring. At 97 475 miles the mileage averages roughly 8 100 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical utilisation range for a twelve‑year‑old premium SUV. The MOT schedule shows regular yearly testing with no significant gaps, suggesting the mileage has been accrued at a steady pace rather than in short, high‑intensity bursts. This moderate annual accumulation means that major wear items such as tyre tread, brake pads and clutch components are likely approaching the latter half of their service lives, but the consistent testing cadence reduces the risk of hidden deterioration slipping past inspection. The front suspension arm wear advisories merit close attention on a test drive. Listen for any clunk, knock or creak when traversing road imperfections, and feel for excessive play or looseness in the steering wheel, particularly under braking or cornering. Uneven front tyre wear or a noticeable pull to one side can also indicate that the arm bushes have progressed beyond the advisory stage. A qualified mechanic should inspect the arm pins, bushings and associated ball joints for clearance and condition, and be prepared to replace the front arm assemblies if excessive movement is detected. Beyond the suspension, the absence of recorded defects means that other systems have so far satisfied MOT criteria, but standard checks remain prudent. Verify that the brake discs and pads show sufficient thickness and are free of scoring, confirm that the steering rack operates smoothly without binding, and inspect the under‑body for any emerging corrosion that could affect structural integrity. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection that includes a road‑force test will reveal any latent issues that the MOT record alone cannot capture, ensuring the buyer has a realistic picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical state.
