2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · YC61 FYV

The 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport currently presents a stable maintenance trend, validated by a pass on 2025-04-22 at 149,102 miles. The most recent test notes minor advisory items including a non-excessive oil leak and a slight power steering pipe seepage, both of which indicate typical age-related fluid dampness rather than catastrophic failures. Earlier testing reveals recurring maintenance items, such as a structural corrosion advisory near a chassis mounting on 2021-07-12 and a historic brake pad failure in January 2016. These records demonstrate that while the vehicle routinely clears its annual examinations, underlying heavy vehicle vulnerabilities require close monitoring by any prospective purchaser. Accumulating 149,102 miles over roughly fourteen years equates to an average of approximately 10,650 miles annually, aligning closely with typical UK driving patterns. The mileage progression remains consistent across the historical record, starting at 41,772 miles in February 2015 and climbing steadily through successive annual tests at a predictable rate of roughly 8,000 to 15,000 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps in the testing timeline or periods of prolonged dormancy, which confirms that the drivetrain and mechanical ancillaries have experienced continuous, regular use rather than sitting idle. A physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, specifically investigating the corrosion noted within 30cm of a mounting point during the 2021 test. Mechanics should evaluate the extent of the current oil leak and power steering hose seepage to determine if seals or lines require immediate replacement. Consumables and stopping power deserve thorough scrutiny given the historical failure for severely depleted rear brake pads, meaning buyers should check the remaining thickness of both brake discs and pads before finalising purchase.
