2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · VE11 JVO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear worsening trend regarding suspension-related components. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 128,382 miles, the volume of advisories has increased significantly compared to previous years. The 2026 report flagged worn pins and bushes on nearly all suspension arms across both axles, alongside a leaking rear anti-roll bar, indicating that the rubber components and damping hardware are reaching the end of their functional life. The recorded mileage of 128,382 miles over 15 years averages out to approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a luxury SUV. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with 7,765 miles covered between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests. Although the vehicle maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2023, the sudden appearance of multiple suspension defects in the last two tests suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase of accelerated wear common for its age and high mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the entire suspension geometry. The recurring nature of the worn arm bushes across multiple tests suggests that a comprehensive overhaul may soon be necessary to prevent unpredictable handling issues or uneven tyre wear. The February 2026 advisory also noted cracking and perishing on all four tyres, which indicates the rubber compounds are degrading due to age regardless of the remaining tread depth. Additionally, the leaking anti-roll bar should be monitored for imminent structural failure, as fluid leaks in these components typically precede a total loss of damping effectiveness.
