2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · X6 TPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear-related defects. While the car passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 98,157 miles, the tester identified multiple issues regarding the front suspension. Specifically, the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated, alongside wear on bushes on both the nearside and offside arms. This indicates that the front suspension assembly is beginning to reach its service limit and requires proactive attention. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a vehicle of this age. The car covered 12,356 miles between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 13,561 miles in the year leading up to the July 2025 test. This consistent usage of approximately 13,000 miles per annum suggests high-speed motorway use, which often explains the accelerated wear on components like bushes and wipers. The intervals between tests have remained regular, indicating a consistent approach to annual MOT testing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the worn bushes and deteriorated boots flagged in 2025 have been replaced. The 2023 failure involving a structural tyre tear and thin rear brake pads suggests that consumable items are only addressed once they reach failure thresholds. Given the current mileage of nearly 100,000 miles, the buyer should also check for leaks in shock absorbers and the condition of the steering rack, as these are common points of failure for this model at this mileage interval.
