2020 Land Rover Rrover Sport Abio DYN D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · 12 GAS

The most recent MOT, carried out on 11 June 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle presently meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. Over the last three years the MOT record has been consistently clean apart from a single advisory on 23 May 2025 concerning a defective front windscreen wiper blade, which is a low‑severity issue and does not affect the overall roadworthiness. The absence of recurring failures or escalating advisories indicates a stable maintenance pattern, suggesting that the owner has kept up with the essential service schedule and that no major components have been flagged for imminent attention. At 53,982 miles the Range Rover Sport has averaged just under 9,000 miles per annum since its first registration in 2020, a figure that sits comfortably within the typical UK usage range for a premium SUV. The mileage is modest for a six‑year‑old vehicle and does not point to any periods of intensive high‑speed or heavy‑load operation. Consequently, wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch wear plates and tyre tread is likely to be proportionate to the mileage rather than accelerated by excessive use, though the vehicle’s electronic hybrid system and the mild‑hybrid battery should still be inspected for any signs of degradation that can appear with age independent of distance travelled. When you inspect the car, replace the front windscreen wiper blade that was flagged in the 2025 MOT; a worn blade can lead to reduced visibility in rain and may indicate that the wiper motor or linkage has been exercised more frequently than normal. While the MOT did not record any suspension or steering faults, it is prudent to listen for any clunking or knocking from the front suspension bushes, coil springs or anti‑roll bar links during a low‑speed drive over uneven road surfaces, as these components can develop fatigue with age even on relatively low‑mileage machines. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or glazing and verify that the pads have sufficient remaining thickness; the hybrid system’s regenerative braking can sometimes mask early disc wear, so a visual check is essential. Given the vehicle’s six‑year age, pay particular attention to time‑related items that are not mileage‑dependent. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening of the rubber, especially if the car has spent extended periods stationary, as perishing tyres can become unsafe even with acceptable tread depth. Test the 12‑volt auxiliary battery for cranking voltage and check the health of the hybrid battery pack through a diagnostic scan, looking for any loss of capacity or error codes. Verify that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, as fluid degradation can occur irrespective of mileage. Finally, confirm that the service book is up to date, with all scheduled service stamps present, and look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, under‑body panels and exhaust system that could indicate prolonged exposure to moisture while the vehicle was idle. These checks will give you a comprehensive picture of the car’s mechanical condition and its suitability for continued ownership.
