2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Diesel · YR18 OUC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to reactive maintenance. In the April 2026 test at 93,087 miles, the car failed due to perished front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers and a defective nearside wiper. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass on the same day, the failure suggests that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life after a period of clean records. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for this model, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a notable gap between the December 2022 test at 66,338 miles and the January 2024 test at 74,587 miles, followed by a stead climb of nearly 19,000 miles leading up to the current 2026 reading. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents the detrimental effects of standing on the drivetrain and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the ball joints identified in the April failure have been properly replaced rather than merely adjusted. Given the failure of dust covers, checking for grease leakage from the joints or play in the control arms is essential. Furthermore, because the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, attention should be paid to the condition of the air suspension and rubber bushings, as these are common points of mechanical wear at this specific mileage interval for Range Rover Sports.
