2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YY16 EWP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable items. While the most recent test on 24 October 2023 at 50,908 miles passed, it introduced tyre-related defects. The tester flagged a nearside rear tyre with a cut and nail, alongside an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and edged. This represents a shift from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that basic upkeep has been neglected in the most recent service interval. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered 17,538 miles in just 17 months. Prior to this, the usage was much more conservative, with only 2,655 miles recorded between 2021 and 2022. This intermittent usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake-related corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the 2020 test at 18,095 miles identified both front and rear pads as wearing thin. Given the low mileage, the buyer should check for caliper seizing or corroded discs resulting from lack of use. The recent tyre failures indicate a need to inspect the remaining set of rubber for uneven wear or structural damage. Furthermore, given the age and model of this Range Rover, the air suspension components and bushings should be checked for leaks or cracking, as these parts perish over time regardless of the low mileage driven.
