2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AD07 PAP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 20 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating it was presented in a roadworthy condition at the time of test. Reviewing the broader DVSA history, the results demonstrate a generally stable maintenance profile, though one of recurring advisories that warrants close attention. The 2022 and 2023 tests passed without any advisories, but the 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged an offside front tyre worn close to legal limit and a split steering column universal joint gaiter, with the 2025 test additionally noting a damaged or perished offside front tyre and a nearside rear tyre worn on edge. The fact that the 2026 test returned a clean pass suggests these issues were subsequently addressed, but the pattern of repeated tyre and gaiter advisories across two consecutive tests indicates areas of wear that should be physically re-examined prior to purchase rather than simply taking the latest clean pass at face value. With 60,626 miles recorded against a seven-year vehicle age, the average annual mileage stands at approximately 8,661 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this type and broadly proportionate to its age. There are no significant gaps or sudden jumps in the recorded mileage that would suggest clock irregularities or periods of extended standing followed by rapid accumulation. This relatively average rate of use implies that wear on major mechanical components such as the suspension, braking system, and drivetrain should be broadly in line with expectations for the mileage, rather than disproportionately advanced or unusually low. Buyers should nevertheless bear in mind that Land Rover products of this era can exhibit component wear beyond what the mileage alone would suggest, particularly in areas such as the air suspension, electronic systems, and driveline, so a mileage-appropriate but not mileage-dictated inspection remains essential. The recurring advisory regarding the steering column universal joint gaiter is a point that warrants specific verification. The gaiter serves to protect the universal joint from ingress of water, dust, and debris, and a split gaiter can allow contamination that accelerates wear of the joint itself, potentially leading to play in the steering, knocking or clunking noises when turning, or vibration through the steering wheel. On a test drive, the buyer should listen carefully for any sloppiness or ratcheting sensation during low-speed lock-to-lock manoeuvres, and visually inspect the gaiter for any fresh splits or signs of grease contamination around the joint area. If the gaiter has only recently been replaced, there is no immediate concern, but if it remains split, it should be regarded as an imminent rectification item and a potential negotiating point, as continued driving with a compromised gaiter can lead to more costly steering column repairs. The repeated advisories concerning tyre wear, particularly on the offside front being noted across both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggests either an alignment or geometry issue, or simply that this axle is subject to heavier wear depending on driving patterns and camber settings. A buyer should thoroughly inspect all four tyres for age-related perishing or cracking on the sidewalls, which is common on vehicles of this age regardless of tread depth, and check the wheel alignment specifications to determine whether uneven wear is a recurring characteristic of the vehicle. Additionally, given the typical age-related concerns for a 2019 Land Rover, the buyer should verify the condition and age of the 12 volt battery, inspect the brake discs for any lipping or binding calipers from standing periods, confirm the service history to ensure brake fluid and coolant have been changed at their calendar-interval recommendations, and check for any evidence of fluid leaks from the engine, transfer box, or differentials during a pre-purchase inspection. A thorough inspection on a lift, ideally by a Land Rover specialist familiar with the model, would be strongly advisable to identify any developing issues not surfaced through the MOT history alone.
