2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SO68 AFK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking components and fluid integrity. The most recent test in January 2026 at 34,571 miles flagged thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs on both the front and rear axles. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of a central rear oil leak from the differential indicates the start of a seal or gasket degradation that was not present in the previous year's test. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2022 and January 2023 where the car covered less than four thousand miles. However, since the clean test in 2023, the mileage has increased by nearly 20,000 miles in three years. This low-mileage pattern explains the recurring corrosion issues on the brake discs, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods rather than through wear from heavy use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the repeated reports of pitting and scoring on the discs across four consecutive years suggest the owner has neglected to replace components until they reached a limit. The 2026 report of a differential oil leak requires immediate attention to ensure the leak is not escalating, which could lead to a catastrophic drivetrain failure. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for dry cracking in rubber bushes and suspension components, as these parts degrade through age regardless of distance driven.
