2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · BA55 YMB

The vehicle presented most recently for DVSA inspection on 6 February 2026 and was issued a clean Pass certificate, with no advisories, defects, or failure items recorded against it. Looking back across the documented test history, the vehicle has returned a Pass at every annual assessment since September 2022, with only a single advisory raised in that five-year window. There is no evidence of a deteriorating trend, no recurring component failures, and no pattern of escalating defect severity, which collectively suggests a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition from the perspective of statutory roadworthiness testing. The absence of advisories on the most recent test, following a five-year sequence of clean passes, indicates that any wear items previously noted have either been rectified or have not yet reached a reportable threshold. With 85,593 miles recorded on a 2019 vehicle, the odometer reflects an annualised usage rate of approximately 12,228 miles, which is notably higher than the typical 7,500 to 9,000 miles per year expected for a vehicle of this class and age. This elevated mileage is consistent with regular long-distance motorway use, company car operation, or high-mileage private motoring, all of which place proportionately greater demand on the powertrain, driveline, and suspension assemblies. Higher mileage generally accelerates wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and ancillary drive belts, while also increasing cumulative stress on items such as the air suspension system, anti-roll bar bushes, and transfer box or differential mounts. It is worth confirming during any physical inspection that the service history corroborates this mileage with regular oil and filter changes, as a 12,000-mile-per-year vehicle should have been serviced at least seven or eight times since new. Although the MOT history itself is free of recurring defects, the age and accumulated mileage of this Range Rover Sport warrant several focused inspection points that fall outside the scope of the standard MOT assessment. The air suspension system, a known wear area on this model, should be inspected for sagging at any corner when stationary, slow compressor operation, or air leaks audible from the reservoir. A thorough check underneath should be carried out for fluid seepage from the rear differential, transfer box, and swivel housing seals, as these units are prone to sweating at higher mileages. The timing chain assembly on the diesel and petrol variants should be considered for replacement if not already documented in the service history, particularly on the 3.0 SDV6 and 5.0 V8 petrol units where chain stretch is a known concern beyond 80,000 miles. Additional practical checks appropriate to a vehicle of this age and use include a close inspection of all four tyres for even tread wear and any signs of kerbing damage, as the heavier unsprung mass of this vehicle can accelerate suspension bush wear and produce uneven inner-edge tyre wear if geometry is out of specification. Brake discs should be examined for lipping and corrosion around the outer edges, particularly if the vehicle has stood for extended periods. Coolant, brake fluid, and transmission oil are all subject to time-based degradation regardless of mileage, and a seven-year-old vehicle should have had its brake fluid replaced at least twice and its coolant refreshed on a calendar basis. Finally, given the single advisory relating to the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System light in 2023, it would be prudent to confirm that the TPMS sensors are functional, as replacement of all four sensors can represent a notable cost if they have failed through age or battery depletion.
