2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · EY 6688

The latest MOT test conducted in May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to be in a stable condition. The only recorded advisory in the history was a nail in the offside rear tyre in January 2025, which has clearly been rectified given the subsequent clean passes. This indicates a consistent level of care where minor issues are addressed before they escalate into mechanical failures or significant safety defects. With 50,014 miles recorded against a four-year age profile, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per year. This is relatively high usage for a premium SUV, suggesting frequent or heavy-duty driving. While regular mileage can often prevent issues associated with vehicles that sit idle, such as brake seizure or battery degradation, it does mean that mechanical components are subject to more frequent wear. You should expect higher levels of depletion in consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and various suspension components compared to a lower-mileage example. During your physical inspection and test drive, pay close attention to the suspension and steering. Listen for any dull thuds or metallic clunks when driving over uneven surfaces, as these can be symptoms of worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs. Check the braking system for any vibration through the pedal or steering wheel, which may indicate warped discs, and ensure there is no pulling to one side which could suggest a binding caliper. Given the mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or uneven wear patterns that might indicate an alignment issue. Beyond the immediate mechanical feel, you must verify the service book to ensure all scheduled maintenance has been performed according to the manufacturer's intervals. High-mileage vehicles require strict adherence to oil and fluid change schedules to maintain engine and drivetrain longevity. Inspect the engine bay for any evidence of fluid leaks from gaskets or hoses and check the underside for any signs of excessive corrosion or exhaust degradation. Finally, confirm the health of the 12V battery and ensure all electronic systems are functioning correctly, as the increased electrical load from high usage can occasionally stress these components.
