2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · RR07 ALY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 September 2025 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears to have stabilised and improved significantly. While the 2022 test resulted in a failure due to dangerous tyre conditions and several advisories, the subsequent three years of clean passes suggest that the previous owner has addressed these faults and is now maintaining the vehicle to a consistent standard that satisfies DVSA requirements. With a recorded mileage of 92,401 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,700 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a luxury SUV of this vintage. This level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and engine have not been excessively stressed, the vehicle is at a stage where wear-and-tear components, particularly those related to the chassis and suspension, will require close scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability. Despite the recent clean sheets, the 2022 records highlight specific areas of concern that warrant physical verification. The advisory regarding the offside front lower suspension arm bush suggests a potential weakness in the front end; during a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when traversing uneven surfaces. Furthermore, the reported heavy corrosion of the fuel tank shield is a point of concern. A prospective buyer should request a visual inspection of the underbody to ensure this corrosion has not progressed to the chassis or affected the integrity of the fuel system. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and tyres. The 2022 advisories for pitted and scored brake discs indicate a period of neglect or exposure to moisture, so check for any brake shudder or uneven pedal feel during deceleration. Given the previous failure for tyres with exposed ply, verify the brand, age, and tread depth of the current set to ensure they are of a premium quality suited to the vehicle's weight. Finally, as this is a Range Rover Sport, ensure the air suspension operates smoothly without hesitation or sagging, and verify that the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes to protect the engine internals.
