2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · WG67 YWF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding wear-and-tear components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 70,705 miles identified a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This represents a progression from the minor cosmetic issues seen in previous years, suggesting that rubber-based suspension components are now beginning to fail and require immediate attention to prevent mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation, moving from 29,089 miles in December 2021 to 70,705 miles by late 2025. There is no evidence of long periods of inactivity or excessive usage, though the 32,000ish miles driven between the 2022 and 2025 tests puts the drivetrain components under typical load for a Land Rover, while the increasing frequency of brake-related advisories indicates a lack of proactive servicing. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system and front suspension. The tester flagged thin brake pads on both axles in December 2022 and thin rear pads again in December 2024, coupled with pitted and scored rear discs. This pattern suggests the owner waits for components to reach their wear limit rather than performing scheduled replacements. Furthermore, the deteriorated ball joint cover noted in the 2025 test necessitates a thorough check of the front suspension assembly for play or play to ensure contamination has not entered the joint, which would lead to a steering failure.
