2023 Land Rover R-Rover Sport Autobio D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · D5 BBS

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2026 showing no recorded defects. The absence of any advisories or failures across its testing history suggests that the primary mechanical systems have met the required standards for structural integrity, lighting, and braking performance without the presence of documented corrosion or component wear. The recorded mileage of 23,777 miles over approximately three years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 7,926 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK average annual distances. This moderate accumulation suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, it has likely been driven frequently enough to prevent the mechanical stagnation often associated with vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage typically results in predictable wear rates for consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres. Given the lack of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, steering linkages, or exhaust systems, a test drive should focus on confirming the absence of any unrecorded mechanical noise. Listen specifically for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate wear in the coil springs or dampers not yet flagged by testing. Additionally, monitor the steering for any pulling or vibration at cruising speeds and check the brake pedal for any sponginess or judder under heavy braking to ensure the hydraulic system and discs are performing as expected. Since no specific oil misting or fluid leaks were noted in the official records, it is prudent to inspect the engine bay and undercarriage for any signs of weeping around gaskets or seals. While the MOT history is clear, the transition from moderate to higher mileage can sometimes reveal early signs of wear in the drivetrain or electronic sensor components. Ensuring the vehicle responds smoothly to throttle inputs and maintains consistent gear changes will provide further confirmation of the roadworthiness indicated by the clean DVSA data.
