2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SK02 ALK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 at 115,805 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior failure on 2025-11-18 at 115,803 miles—just nine days earlier—suggests potential inconsistencies in the testing process or unresolved issues. The absence of recorded defects in both tests implies no critical mechanical failures, but the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the accuracy of the initial assessment. Overall, the trend shows stability in the last 12 months, with no major concerns flagged. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase in usage, with the vehicle accumulating 27,931 miles between 2023-11-15 (66,691 miles) and 2024-10-24 (89,132 miles), followed by 26,673 miles by 2025-11-27. This rapid accumulation, exceeding 12,867 miles annually, aligns with the high mileage for its age and could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The MOT history lacks defects, but the sparse data from 2022-2023 (38,778 to 66,691 miles) suggests potential gaps in maintenance tracking, which a buyer should verify through service records. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension, particularly coil springs and bushings, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. The rear brakes, common in Land Rovers, warrant scrutiny for wear or binding, as does the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as high mileage increases rust risk in critical areas. While the MOT records show no immediate hazards, the vehicle’s usage pattern and recent testing anomalies necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm its mechanical condition.
