2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YF14 ACX

The Range Rover Sport presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in the most recent test on 2026-02-18 at 115,762 miles, marking a stable trend of roadworthiness. The sole failure in the dataset occurred on 2025-02-04 at 103,647 miles, yet no specific issues were logged—an anomaly given the lack of context, though it suggests either a minor oversight or a procedural error. Since then, the vehicle has passed consecutive tests without advisories, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of defects in the past three years implies either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or a vehicle that has aged well with minimal wear. That said, the lack of advisories could also mask deferred repairs, so a buyer should verify if any outstanding work was addressed. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,647 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting neither excessive nor negligible driving. The gap between the 2024 test (94,412 miles) and the 2025 failure (103,647 miles) covers just over 9,000 miles in under a year, which is consistent with the average. The most recent 12-month span from 2025-02-05 to 2026-02-18 saw an additional 12,114 miles logged, a slightly higher but not unusual rate for a used vehicle. The absence of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity reduces concerns about abrupt wear or neglect, though the short interval between the 2025 failure and pass (just one day apart) is unusual and warrants closer scrutiny of the test records. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to silent degradation in this model. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be checked for wear or corrosion, as off-road use can accelerate fatigue. Binding calipers or uneven brake disc thickness remain a risk despite no recorded issues, so brake system functionality and fluid condition must be verified. Structural integrity is critical; inspect the chassis rails, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion, especially in regions prone to salt or moisture. While the MOT records show no defects, the lack of advisories may indicate deferred maintenance, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised to confirm no underlying issues exist.
