2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · Y33 KBC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a recent testing anomaly. The most recent MOT test on 29 January 2026 at 92,769 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just eight days prior at 92,764 miles. This sequence suggests a minor issue, likely a consumable or a simple adjustment, that was immediately rectified, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recorded advisories over the last two years. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 77,058 miles and the February 2025 test at 86,173 miles, the car covered nearly 9,000 miles, indicating a period of higher than average usage compared to its lifetime mean. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests and low annual usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, seals, and potential corrosion in the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the vehicle's age and low usage pattern, it is essential to check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, where moisture often accumulates during stationary periods. The brakes should also be inspected for binding calipers or corroded discs, as low-mile vehicles frequently suffer from component seize. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, a thorough check of suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure age-related perishability has not compromised the vehicle's handling.
