2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · A21 JDS

A generally sound mechanical condition underpins this 2019 Range Rover Sport, with three consecutive annual MOTs cleared without any recorded failures; the only recurring notes are minor wear items and superficial corrosion, indicating that the vehicle has been kept road‑worthy but is beginning to show the expected signs of age. The 2025 test confirmed a clean bill of health, while the 2023 and 2022 advisories highlight only non‑structural concerns such as thin front inner brake pads, a cracked off‑side rear tail lamp, side‑step corrosion and a few ancillary issues like wiper smearing and a windscreen chip. At 49,279 miles the car averages just over 7,000 miles per year, a mileage figure that sits comfortably within the normal range for a seven‑year‑old premium SUV. The annual MOT schedule shows no gaps, suggesting consistent use rather than prolonged storage, which typically helps preserve suspension bushings and drivetrain components. This moderate annual accumulation means consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension parts are likely approaching mid‑life service intervals but have not been subjected to excessive high‑mileage stress. When you inspect the vehicle, give particular attention to the front inner brake pads that were flagged as thin in 2022; verify that the pads have been replaced or are still within safe thickness, listen for any squeal or judder under moderate braking, and feel for pedal firmness. The cracked off‑side rear tail lamp should be replaced promptly to maintain legal lighting compliance. The side steps show corrosion on both sides – examine the metal for any pitting that could spread to the mounting brackets, and ensure the steps are still securely attached and free of structural weakness. The engine cover and under‑tray fitting noted in 2023 is not a defect, but a visual check for any oil leaks or loose fastenings around the under‑tray is prudent. Finally, assess the windscreen chip for any propagation risk, especially under temperature swings, and confirm that the rear child‑seat installation does not impede the adult seat‑belt mechanism; a quick belt pull test will reveal any restriction. While the wiper blades were reported as smearing, replace them if they leave streaks, as effective visibility is essential for a vehicle of this size. Overall, the car presents a clean road‑worthiness record with only routine wear items that can be addressed cost‑effectively before purchase.
