2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · WH68 BGY

The 2018 Range Rover Sport presents a clean MOT record through its most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 52,517 miles, where it passed with zero defects. That unblemished result, combined with four consecutive passes dating back to October 2021, indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by any tester over nearly five years. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no advisories or failures to suggest neglect or developing issues. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between October 2021 at 29,382 miles and November 2025 at 52,517 miles, the vehicle accumulated 23,135 miles over roughly four years, averaging around 5,784 miles annually. That figure sits slightly below the typical 6,565 miles per year for an eight-year-old vehicle, pointing to moderate rather than heavy use. The jumps between tests are steady: 4,565 miles between October 2021 and November 2022, 6,435 miles through to October 2023, another 5,016 miles to November 2024, and 7,115 miles in the final year leading to November 2025. The slightly higher final interval may reflect increased road use or a longer gap between tests, but nothing suggests prolonged standing or mileage irregularities. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The air suspension system common to this model merits close attention, as compressor failures and air spring leaks are known issues that may not always trigger an MOT advisory until they become severe. Check the condition of all suspension bushes and drop links, particularly at the front, and inspect the subframes and underbody for corrosion, which can develop on vehicles used in wet or salted road conditions. The braking system, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as heavy SUVs with automatic transmissions can place extra stress on these components. Inspect the tyres for inner edge wear, which often signals alignment or suspension geometry issues that a pass-only MOT does not necessarily uncover. The exhaust system and diesel particulate filter, if applicable, deserve a cold-start emissions check to confirm no smoke or fault codes exist outside MOT testing parameters. Inspect all electronic systems, including the Terrain Response controls, infotainment, and parking sensors, as electrical gremlins are a known concern on this generation. Finally, verify that the service history aligns with the mileage pattern, as a vehicle with regular oil changes and filter replacements will protect the drivetrain far longer than one with gaps in its maintenance record.
