2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YC10 WPK

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently critical, showing a sharp worsening trend in mechanical neglect. While the vehicle passed tests consistently between 2019 and 2023, the most recent inspection in March 2024 at 105,444 miles resulted in a comprehensive list of failures. The presence of a defective brake servo, an inoperative engine management light, and multiple binding calipers indicates that the vehicle was operated in a state of significant mechanical failure prior to its last test. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. Between November 2021 and March 2024, the vehicle covered only 4,820 miles, suggesting periods of long standing or infrequent use. However, the low mileage has not prevented significant component degradation. The transition from a clean record in 2020 to a high-volume multi-point failure in 2024 suggests that the vehicle may have suffered from deferred maintenance rather than high-mileage wear and tear. A prospective buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The 2024 record flagged excessive corrosion on all front brake pipes and the rear rear pipe, alongside binding calipers at all corners and a failed servo. The suspension also shows clear signs of deterioration, with excessively worn bushes on the lower arms and corroded MacPherson struts. Specific attention should be paid to the reported ACE system fluid leak and the corroded air tank, as these indicate ongoing hydraulic issues that are often expensive to rectify on the Range Rover platform.
