2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · WJ10 SWK

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend that suggests a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in November 2023 at 107,279 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior that revealed multiple mechanical and safety defects. The recurrence of worn offside rear lower suspension arm bushes and binding rear brakes across different testing periods indicates that components are only being addressed when they reach the point of inspection failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 107,279 miles over 16 years, the Range Rover has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. However, there is a significant gap in the testing history between August 2021 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 6,000 miles without a formal inspection. The most recent MOT is now over 18 months old as of June 2026, meaning the vehicle is currently operating on an expired certificate, increasing the risk that previously flagged rubber and metal components have deteriorated further since the last record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the record shows a history of neglected wear items. The tester flagged pitted front brake discs and thin rear pads in 2021, followed by binding rear brakes in 2023. The persistent mention of very rusty AC pipes and worn suspension bushes suggests an underbody prone to corrosion that could lead to fluid leaks or structural instability. Additionally, the condition of the CV boots and ball joint dust covers must be verified, as these were previously identified as severely deteriorated and are common failure points on this model.
