2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · CF19 CMF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded, which represents a clean and reassuring current roadworthiness status. Reviewing the broader test history, the 2024 and 2025 examinations also returned clean passes, suggesting that any earlier issues have been addressed and the vehicle has settled into a stable maintenance pattern. The only points of concern appear in early 2023, when a failure was recorded for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) accompanied by a minor oil leak advisory and a windscreen washer top-up advisory. The fact that these items did not recur on later tests indicates they were rectified at the time and have not re-emerged, supporting a picture of a vehicle whose condition has been consistently maintained since. Overall, the trend from the DVSA record is stable to improving, with no escalation of defects or recurring failure categories. With 45,829 miles recorded over approximately seven years, this Range Rover Sport is doing close to 6,500 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a premium SUV of this age and consistent with regular but not heavy use. The mileage progression across the MOT entries suggests steady accumulation rather than long periods of standing or sudden spikes, which is generally favourable for drivetrain longevity, brake component health, and suspension wear. There are no obvious signs of extended storage that would raise immediate concerns about seized brake calipers, perished rubber, or battery degradation from infrequent use, nor any indication of high-mileage rapid accumulation that might foreshadow clutch, transmission, or turbocharger wear. That said, given the model and its known mechanical complexity, even average mileage on a Range Rover Sport can reveal component wear sooner than on more modest vehicles, particularly in areas such as air suspension, timing chain components, and the diesel or petrol ancillaries depending on variant. From a physical inspection standpoint, although the MOT record is commendably clean for a vehicle of this age and class, a prospective buyer should still carry out several age-and-mileage-appropriate checks. Begin with the tyres, paying particular attention not just to tread but to sidewall condition, looking out for any perishing, cracking, or UV-related degradation that can occur even on lightly used tyres, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or driven predominantly in dry conditions; confirm manufacture dates on the sidewalls and check for even wear across both axles, which can reveal tracking or suspension geometry issues common to SUVs of this size. Inspect the brake discs visually through the wheels for any significant lipping or surface corrosion, and on the test drive listen for any binding caliper symptoms such as the vehicle pulling to one side or excessive heat build-up after moderate driving. Given the advisory from 2023 relating to a minor oil leak, it is worth inspecting under-bonnet areas and undertrays for any fresh seepage from the engine sump, valve cover gasket, or turbo oil feed lines, and noting whether the underside shows any fresh staining or wetness that would suggest the issue has returned. Finally, although the MOT history provides no direct insight into scheduled service compliance, it is essential to verify the full dealer or specialist stamp record in the service book, confirming that oil changes, brake fluid, coolant, and if applicable transfer box and differential fluids have been changed at the correct intervals, as fluid degradation on these vehicles tends to follow calendar age rather than mileage alone. The 12V battery is another common failure point on premium SUVs that see only moderate use, so a battery health check or resting voltage measurement is worthwhile, particularly if the vehicle has been stood for any extended periods between journeys. On a road test, listen carefully for any suspension clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces, as air spring failures, control arm bushes, and anti-roll bar drop links are known wear items on this generation of Range Rover Sport. Any hesitation, irregular idle, or warning lamp illumination should be investigated, even though the MIL fault from 2023 has not recurred, as intermittent sensor or wiring issues on these vehicles can be deceptive. With a clean recent MOT history and reasonable mileage, this Range Rover Sport presents as a fundamentally sound prospect, provided these additional mechanical and service-history verifications are carried out before purchase.
