2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SW14 XOT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 112,108 miles identified a failure on a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and noted a modified rear suspension unit. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple mechanical advisories suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life. At 112,108 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 9,342 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the eighteen-month gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests shows a period of lower usage, which may contribute to the accelerated wear seen on rubber components and brake hardware noted in the January 2024 inspection. A buyer must prioritze inspecting the front suspension and braking system, as the 2024 record flagged thin brake pads, pitted discs, and play in the anti-roll bar ball joint simultaneously. The presence of a deteriorated CV boot in 2025 indicates that the drivetrain seals are failing, which can lead to expensive joint damage if not addressed. Given the modified rear suspension unit noted in the latest test, a physical inspection is required to ensure structural integrity and verify that the aftermarket work does not compromise vehicle handling or safety. The oil leak reported in 2020 should be re-checked to ensure it has not worsened over the subsequent five years.
