2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · W33 WAH

A pattern of consistent MOT passes since 2021 forms the core of this Range Rover Sport's roadworthiness record, with no outright failures across the seven tests logged. The most recent examination on 25 May 2026 was a pass, though accompanied by an advisory for a slightly loose exhaust silencer with a broken centre clamp, which warrants attention as exhaust movement under load can propagate stress to hangers and mounting points. Three consecutive clean passes from 2023 through 2025 suggest stable mechanical condition during that window, though the advisories in 2021 and 2022 reveal the wear items a buyer should not overlook simply because the sheet shows no failures. The recorded mileage of 93,237 against an eight-year age equates to roughly 11,655 miles annually, sitting broadly in line with typical usage for the model. The test history is evenly spaced, with no prolonged absences from the road that would suggest extended standing periods, and the incremental progression between tests points to steady operation rather than abrupt heavy use or long-term storage. At this mileage, wear on consumables, suspension components, drivetrain seals, and brake hardware is expected to be more advanced than on a lower-mileage example, so the MOT advisories warrant closer scrutiny. The 2022 advisories flagged nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, alongside an offside front tyre exhibiting the same wear pattern, plus an oil leak described as not excessive. Edge wear and uneven shoulder wear on rear tyres typically indicates either incorrect alignment, worn rear suspension bushes, or a combination of geometry issues from laden towing or rough road surfaces. A prospective buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully for feathering, shoulder wear, or stepped tread blocks, and ask for evidence of a recent four-wheel alignment. The oil leak, recorded as minor at that test, should be traced visually before purchase to confirm whether it has worsened; common sources at this mileage include sump plugs, rocker covers, and timing chain covers, and a stained undertray or fresh oil residue on lower engine components would be a concern. The 2021 records carry useful intelligence for any test drive. The advisory for front brake discs worn, pitted, or scored on both inner faces suggests the discs were on their way out two test cycles ago, and a buyer should feel for brake judder or vibration through the pedal under firm stops, particularly from higher speed, which would indicate disc runout or thickness variation beyond serviceable limits. The minor defect for the offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot severely deteriorated with a leak should be visually confirmed, as a torn boot that has run for any distance will have allowed grease loss and water ingress into the joint, potentially producing a clicking on full-lock turns at low speed. Beyond the recorded items, the air suspension system, a known wear area on this generation of Range Rover Sport, should be observed at rest for any corner sitting lower than the others, and listened to for compressor cycling or hiss on cold start, while the exhaust clamp noted in the latest test should be checked for security and full system integrity underneath.
