2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YC17 VSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear and structural degradation. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 88,484 miles passed, it identified play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and rust on the fuel tank. This follows a significant setback in early 2025 where the vehicle failed due to electronic parking brake malfunctions and poor efficiency, indicating that complex systems are requiring active attention. The recorded mileage of 88,484 miles over nine years represents an average of approximately 9,832 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a luxury SUV. The data shows steady annual accumulation, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another similar interval leading to today. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stagnant for long periods, though the consistent mileage places predictable load on components like air suspension and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the electronic parking brake system following the 2025 failure to ensure the fault was rectified rather than merely cleared. The recent advisory for the nearside front ball joint suggests that suspension components are beginning to reach their service limit, necessitating a check of all bushings and arms. Furthermore, the reported corrosion on the fuel tank and the previous heavy corrosion on the offside sidestep require a close look at the structural integrity to determine if surface rust is affecting the chassis or mounting points.
