2021 Land Rover R Rover Sport A-BIO DYN Phev A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV 1001

The most recent MOT inspection on 13 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the recent history, the vehicle experienced a failure on 21 October 2024, but has since achieved two consecutive clean passes. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the underlying cause of the previous failure was rectified, and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets all regulatory requirements. The recorded mileage of 63,276 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 12,655 miles. This is relatively high for a five-year-old premium vehicle, suggesting regular and consistent use. While regular driving is beneficial for preventing the degradation and seizure often associated with vehicles that sit idle, the higher mileage implies that wear on consumables such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake pads, and tyres will be more advanced. You should prepare for more frequent replacement cycles for these mechanical components compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. As the MOT history shows no current advisories, you must conduct a rigorous physical inspection to identify any emerging issues. On your test drive, listen for suspension clunks or knocks which may indicate worn bushes or dampers, and check for any brake shudder or pulling to one side, which could signal binding calipers or warped discs. Inspect the tyre tread for uneven wear, which can be a symptom of compromised suspension geometry or alignment issues. Given the high usage, checking the sidewalls for any signs of impact damage or bulging is also advised. Given the hybrid nature of the vehicle and its higher mileage, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure all manufacturer-specified intervals for engine oil, coolant, and hybrid system checks have been strictly adhered to. Inspect the vehicle's underside for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or hybrid cooling systems. Additionally, check the 12V battery health and ensure the high-voltage battery's state of charge is consistent, as high-mileage vehicles can place greater demand on the electrical architecture. Finally, confirm that the service book contains stamps reflecting the mileage-based maintenance required for a vehicle of this usage profile.
