2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YS67 MYK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-04 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last three annual tests. The absence of recurring failures or advisories suggests a stable maintenance history, though the single failed test in October 2023—without any recorded defects—indicates either a minor procedural oversight or a brief period of neglect that did not affect core safety components. The lack of binding caliper warnings, excessive brake dust, or suspension-related advisories in recent years implies the braking and suspension systems have been consistently monitored, though this does not preclude hidden wear in components like rear wheel bearings or coil spring integrity. The recorded mileage of 63,565 miles over nine years equates to approximately 7,063 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest prolonged disuse, though the 2023 test cycle includes an unusually short interval between the failed test on 2023-10-05 and the subsequent pass on 2023-10-14—just nine days apart—which may indicate a rushed or incomplete inspection rather than a mechanical issue. The steady accumulation of miles without abrupt spikes also suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to aggressive driving conditions that could accelerate wear in drivetrain or suspension components. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension’s structural integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and mounting bushes, as these are common failure points in Land Rover models of this era. The absence of advisories does not rule out gradual degradation in wheel bearings or brake pads, so attention should be given to binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, or excessive play in the steering. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe—common in this model—should be assessed for structural compromise, especially if the vehicle has experienced off-road use or exposure to salted roads. Given the lack of MOT advisories, the focus should be on consumables like brake fluid condition, differential and transfer case fluid levels, and the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust.
