2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · RJ22 OBE

A clean and unblemished DVSA record across both recorded tests places this 2022 Range Rover Sport in a strong position from a roadworthiness perspective. The most recent examination on 2026-03-30 returned a pass with no defects or advisories, and the prior test on 2025-04-11 was equally clean. With no advisories logged to monitor over time and no failure entries on file, the recorded MOT history does not flag any component groups that have been a source of recurring concern. In practical terms, this means nothing has been formally identified as approaching the failure threshold during the official testing cycle, and there is no pattern of brake, suspension, corrosion, or lighting issues that a buyer needs to weigh against the vehicle's age. The recorded mileage of 24,120 miles across a four-year registration suggests a usage pattern that sits close to the average for the model. The accumulation rate works out to roughly 6,030 miles annually, which is neither low enough to raise immediate concerns about extended standing periods nor high enough to suggest heavy motorway or fleet use. There are no notable gaps in testing history that would indicate the vehicle was off the road for an extended lay-up, and the mileage progression between the 2025 and 2026 tests is consistent with regular, modest use. For a vehicle of this complexity, this kind of mid-range usage typically translates into moderate wear on consumables such as tyres and brake friction material, rather than the accelerated wear seen on high-mileage examples or the potential issues associated with components seizing from disuse. Although the official record contains no flagged items to act on directly, a prospective buyer should still prioritise a thorough physical inspection and a considered test drive. Pay particular attention to the air suspension system, which is a known wear area on Range Rover Sport vehicles of this generation: listen for any compressor cycling that runs excessively after the engine is switched off, and feel for uneven ride height or a failure to level on startup. During the drive, listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as control arm and anti-roll bar bushes can deteriorate without yet being severe enough to feature in the MOT record. Check that the brake pedal feels firm and that the vehicle stops squarely without any pulling to one side, and inspect the brake discs for any lipping or visible corrosion on the inner edges, particularly given that the recorded mileage suggests brakes may be approaching the point where a disc skim or replacement could be due depending on driving conditions. On a stationary inspection, examine the underbody and suspension arms for any surface corrosion, especially around the subframe mounting points and brake pipe runs, as these areas can deteriorate before they would be flagged at test. Verify that all electronic systems, including the infotainment screen, surround cameras, terrain response selector, and adaptive dynamics, operate without fault codes or intermittent warnings, as electrical and sensor issues are common to the model but would not necessarily appear in the MOT data. Finally, confirm that the tyres are matching in brand and tread depth, check the condition of the alloy wheels for kerbing damage, and ensure there is no blue staining from oil misting around the engine bay, which would indicate a valve stem seal issue. A clean MOT record is a positive starting point, but a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with the marque remains advisable given the vehicle's age and the broader mechanical complexity of the Range Rover Sport platform.
