LAND ROVER R-ROVER SPORT DYN SE D MHEV A2022 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than preventative care. While the car passed its November 2025 test at 41,502 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 41,481 miles. The failure noted both a thin rear brake pad warning and a damaged offside rear tyre, suggesting that the owner only addressed mechanical wear items once they resulted in a legal test failure. At 41,502 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,375 miles per annum. This usage pattern aligns with typical national averages for a premium SUV. The extremely short interval between the October failure and November 2025 tests, with only 21 miles driven, confirms that the faults were rectified immediately to secure a pass. The low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been heavily stressed, though the specific faults highlight that consumables are reaching the end of their life. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the replacement of pads did not mask uneven wear on the discs or seized calipers. The previous failure regarding a sidewall cut reaching the cords indicates a significant safety risk; therefore, the current tyres should be checked for similar structural damage and consistent tread depth. Given the age and the nature of the Land Rover suspension, an inspection of the air suspension components for leaks or perished bushings is advisable, as the MOT record focuses only on basic safety items rather than complex mechanical health.
