2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SH11 SYV

This 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport shows a maintenance history that has transitioned from clean passes to a period of increasing mechanical wear. The most recent inspection in August 2023 at 141,042 miles revealed several areas of concern, including structural corrosion on both the front and rear subframes. While noted as not yet seriously weakened, this indicates an ongoing issue that requires monitoring. Additionally, the parking brake is only just meeting the efficiency threshold, and an exhaust leak alongside worn brake discs suggests the vehicle's hardware is nearing the end of its service life. At 141,042 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per year, which is consistent with a 15-year-old luxury age. There was a period of relative stability between 2017 and 2022 where the vehicle passed tests without defects. However, the data from 2019 shows more frequent issues with consumable components, specifically regarding suspension arm bushes and brake pads. The failure in 2019 due to an inoperative engine management light suggests a past history of electronic faults. A buyer should be cautious regarding the structural rust identified on the subframes, as this is a critical area point for vehicles of this age. The recurring mentions of worn suspension bushes and the current wear on brake discs indicate that the suspension and braking systems are under significant stress. Given that the parking brake is operating at its limit and an exhaust leak is present, a thorough inspection of the braking mechanism and exhaust system is necessary to avoid immediate high repair costs upon purchase.
