2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · RW02 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance. The most recent test in October 2025 at 78,004 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This is a significant improvement compared to the 2021 and 2022 records where multiple advisories regarding tyres and brake components required attention. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,004 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows long intervals of low usage, such as the roughly 1,000 miles driven between January 2024 and October 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and accelerated corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the corroded brake pipe issues noted in the history. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and structural integrity points. The 2021 test at 74,010 miles flagged corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, a common tactic used to hide surface rust. Although the 2025 test passed without defect, a thorough check of the brake lines for new pitting or structural thinning is essential. Additionally, the recurring mention of engine and sill covers restricting inspection between 2019 and 2022 suggests that the tester could not fully verify the chassis or subframe for hidden rust. The previous tyre wear advisories from 2021 and 2022 indicate a period of neglected basic maintenance, so the current tyres should be inspected for uneven wear or sidewall cracking given the vehicle's age and low mileage. Given the vehicle's profile, the air suspension system should also be tested for leaks or uneven leveling, as these components often dry out and fail when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
