2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SK62 GGA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in June 2026 at 150,640 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears currently stable following a period of increasing wear-related advisories. While earlier tests showed signs of degradation, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the current owner has addressed the mechanical issues identified in previous years. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable, averaging approximately 10,760 miles per year over the vehicle's fourteen years. The record shows a steady increase in usage from 108,112 miles in 2023 to 150,640 miles in 2026, representing a jump of over 42,000 miles in three years. This regular usage generally suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often protect engine seals and rubber components from drying out. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, as the 2024 test flagged worn bushes on the nearside rear upper suspension arm and the front lower suspension arm. Although these did not cause a failure at the time, they indicate a recurring pattern of rubber component fatigue under high-mile loads. The history of tyre wear issues in 2024 and 2025 also suggests a tendency of neglecting consumables until they reach legal limits, so the buyer should check for uneven tread patterns or alignment issues that could indicate bent components. Given the high mileage and age, the physical inspection should also focus on structural integrity and potential fluid leaks, particularly in areas prone to corrosion which are common on Range Rover chassis. The 2016 note regarding under-trays and engine covers obscuring components highlights that past testers may have had limited visibility, so ensuring no hidden fluid leaks or structural rust has developed since the last clean report is essential.
