2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SW69 FFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 102,432 miles, the failure just two days prior indicates a significant neglect of basic safety inspections. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of legal failure, as evidenced by the recurring issues with brake and tyre components. The vehicle has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the car clocked nearly 30,000 miles in a single year. This high-intensity usage pattern on a heavy Range Rover Sport puts substantial strain on the air suspension system and drivetrain. The gap between the 55,000-mile and 85,000-mile tests shows accelerated wear on consumables during those service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the wheels and suspension geometry. The June 2025 failure flagged a fractured nearside rear wheel and a welding defect crack on the offside rear wheel, which indicates potential structural damage from previous hard impacts. Furthermore, the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2023 and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been professionally rectified. The braking system requires close scrutiny due to a consistent history of thin pads and pitted discs across all four axles. The 2025 failure for thin rear pads and scored discs confirms the vehicle has been driven with inadequate stopping performance for extended periods. Any prospective buyer should check for signs of fluid leaks around calipers or seized pistons, as the record shows the previous owner consistently allowed components to degrade until they were below the legal limit.
