2019 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred maintenance regarding the braking system. The most recent test in June 2026 at 47,482 miles passed after a failure just one mile prior due to worn front pads and thin rear pads. While the vehicle passed on the re-test, the tester noted pitted and scored rear brake discs. This recurring deplet suggests that the owner only addresses brake components once they reach a failure point rather than following a proactive replacement schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a steady progression from 26,310 miles in June 2022 to the current 47,482 miles. While the low mileage is generally, the 2024 failure at 40,643 miles highlights a significant mechanical event, specifically where a nearside front inner road wheel was both fractured and had a welding defect. This specific type of wheel damage indicates the vehicle likely suffered a significant impact or curb strike that required component replacement. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the wheel assemblies and braking hardware. The repeated advisories for thin pads and scored discs from 2024 through 2026 indicate the entire braking system is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the nearside front oil leak noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure it was properly rectified and is not indicative of a persistent engine seal failure. The presence of plastic trays that block the tester's view of the underside also means a physical underbody inspection is necessary to check for hidden corrosion or fluid leaks that the MOT tester could not access.
