2021 Land Rover RR Sport HSE DYN Blck D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · AC04 CAP

The latest official DVSA MOT test outcome for this 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic Black D MHEV A was a Pass recorded on 26 November 2025, with no advisories or defects logged against the vehicle. Looking back across the recorded tests, the vehicle has alternated between clean passes and a single failure episode earlier in 2025, where four tyres were rejected for cuts deep enough to reach the ply or cords, accompanied by minor observations on both front wiper blades. The fact that the failure was confined to tyre damage and wiper condition, with no structural, braking, suspension, or emissions defects, suggests the underlying mechanical condition of the vehicle is sound. The clean advisory-free pass on the retest indicates that the issues were addressed promptly rather than being symptomatic of ongoing neglect, which is a positive indicator of conscientious ownership. With recorded mileage of 54,769 miles over approximately five years, this vehicle is running at an annual average of around 10,954 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a large premium SUV of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record to suggest extended periods of standing, nor any indication of unusually rapid mileage accumulation that would point to hard use such as frequent towing or high-mileage motorway commuting. This moderate and consistent usage pattern is generally favourable, as it tends to keep mechanical components, seals, and fluids regularly exercised without accelerating wear on consumables such as clutch, turbo components, or suspension bushes beyond expected rates. Although the MOT record is largely clean, prospective buyers should still perform a thorough physical inspection given the vehicle's age and the premium nature of its components. Tyre condition warrants close attention, particularly checking the sidewalls for perishing and cracking from age, as rubber compounds degrade with calendar years regardless of tread depth, and inspecting the rear tyres specifically since the prior failure affected the nearside rear as well as both fronts. During a test drive, listen for any clonks or knocking from the suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar bushes, control arm bushes, or coil spring fatigue common to SUVs of this weight class. Steering should feel precise without vagueness or vibration through the wheel, and the brakes should pull up smoothly without juddering, which would suggest warped front discs. Given the relatively low annual mileage, it is prudent to verify the 12V battery health, as vehicles that sit for extended periods often suffer from battery degradation, and check that the auxiliary MHEV system battery has been properly maintained according to Land Rover's service schedule. Brake discs on a vehicle of this age are susceptible to corrosion at the inner and outer edges from standing, and binding calipers can occur if the car has been left unused, so a rolling test with several firm stops from higher speed is recommended to clear any surface corrosion and confirm smooth operation. All fluid services should be confirmed against time rather than just mileage, including brake fluid replacement every 2 years regardless of use, coolant changes, and the automatic transmission fluid service schedule, as calendar-based degradation can compromise these systems even on low-mileage examples. Finally, verifying a complete Land Rover main dealer or specialist service history with consistent stamps, and a pre-purchase inspection by a marque specialist familiar with the D MHEV powertrain, would be a sensible precaution before committing to purchase.
