2023 Land Rover R-Rover Sport DYN SE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · AAZ 3

The most recent MOT, carried out on 1 May 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard and that there are no emerging safety concerns evident from the official testing record. In the absence of a pattern of recurring faults, the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable. At three years old the R‑Rover Sport has logged 33,266 miles, which works out to just over 11,000 miles per annum. This annual usage sits comfortably within the normal band for a family SUV of this class and does not indicate either excessive wear or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no obvious mileage gaps that would hint at long-term storage, so the wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components should be consistent with a vehicle that has seen regular, moderate‑intensity driving. For a vehicle of this age and mileage the buyer should give particular attention to the condition of the tyres. Even if the tread depth appears adequate, inspect the sidewalls for cracking, dry‑rot or any signs of perishing that can develop with calendar age irrespective of mileage. Examine the tyre pressure monitoring system for fault codes and verify that the tyre pressures are set to the manufacturer’s specification. The primary 12‑volt battery, as well as the hybrid high‑voltage pack, should be tested for charge retention and electrolyte level (if applicable); a weak 12‑V battery can cause intermittent electronic gremlins, while the hybrid battery’s health is best confirmed by a diagnostic scan that reports state‑of‑health and any recent error codes. Inspect the braking system for even disc thickness, surface rust and pad wear; any pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes at speed may indicate warped discs or uneven pad material. Check the calipers for smooth operation and look for any signs of fluid leakage around the master cylinder or caliper pistons. The suspension should be examined for worn bushings, cracked coil springs and any play in the ball joints or tie‑rod ends, as these can manifest as clunking noises over bumps. Finally, confirm that the service book shows timely oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes in line with the manufacturer’s intervals, and ask the seller for any recent software updates for the hybrid control unit, as these can affect both performance and emissions compliance. A thorough visual and auditory inspection during a short test drive, listening for abnormal noises and feeling for any pulling or vibration, will help verify that the vehicle remains mechanically sound.
