2022 Land Rover R Rover Sport HSE DYN Phev A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL13 CAM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in March 2025, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal safety standards for roadworthiness. While a clean MOT record is a positive indicator, it is important to remember that these tests are snapshots in time and do not necessarily reflect the overall mechanical health or the preventative maintenance regime applied to a complex plug-in hybrid vehicle. The recorded mileage of 61,597 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 15,400 miles. For a vehicle of this age, this represents high mileage, suggesting frequent or heavy use. This level of accumulation places greater demand on the vehicle's mechanical components compared to lower-mileage examples. You should anticipate more advanced wear on consumables such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as increased stress on the suspension system and the hybrid drivetrain. The higher mileage also means the vehicle is likely approaching more significant service milestones that require thorough professional inspection. As the MOT history shows no specific advisories, your inspection should focus on the physical signs of high-mileage wear. During the test drive, listen closely for any knocks, clunks, or creaks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes, dampers, or coil springs. Test the braking performance carefully; any shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel may suggest warped brake discs, while any pulling to one side could indicate binding calipers. Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns, which are common indicators of alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Given that this is a plug-in hybrid, you must also pay close attention to the integration of the electric and combustion systems. Ensure the vehicle transitions smoothly between power modes without hesitation or abnormal vibrations. Check the service book to confirm that all manufacturer-specified intervals for oil, filters, and hybrid-specific fluids have been strictly followed. It is also advisable to check the condition of the 12V battery and look for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or cooling systems. Finally, verify that the high-mileage usage has not resulted in neglected maintenance of the complex electronic systems that govern the vehicle's performance and safety.
