2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · 5 CPS

The Range Rover presents a stable mechanical baseline, passing every MOT without a serious failure. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 98,278 miles was a clean pass apart from a minor advisory for an Offside Front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This is a low-severity consumable issue, not a structural or mechanical defect. The trend across the record is broadly stable, with no recurring suspension, braking, or emissions failures. Tyre wear advisories appear intermittently, suggesting routine rather than neglected maintenance, though the pattern hints at possible alignment or inflation habits that a buyer should verify. The mileage accumulation is notably high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,285 miles per year. The record shows a rapid jump from 51,057 miles on 30 September 2022 to 71,783 miles on 10 October 2023, an increase of over 20,000 miles in just over twelve months. This was followed by a further rise to 88,242 miles by 5 November 2024, indicating sustained high-mileage use. The mileage then plateaued, with only 36 miles recorded between the November 2024 test and the October 2025 test, suggesting the vehicle has been standing or used very little in the past year. This combination of heavy prior use followed by apparent long-term storage raises questions about fluid degradation, seal condition, and battery health that a static MOT record cannot capture. Buyers should focus their in-person inspection on components most affected by high mileage and prolonged standing. The repeated tyre wear advisories, particularly edge wear on the Offside Front and Offside Rear, point to possible wheel alignment issues, worn suspension bushes, or damaged track rod ends. A thorough check of the front and rear suspension, including coil springs, dampers, and anti-roll bar links, is advisable given the vehicle's weight and mileage. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the car has sat unused for extended periods. Underbody corrosion and structural integrity around mounting points and subframes warrant close attention, as high-mileage Range Rovers are susceptible to corrosion in key load-bearing areas. A fluid health assessment, including engine oil, gearbox oil, and coolant, is essential given the apparent period of low use since late 2024.
