2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ED Phev Auto 3.0L Hybrid electric · FP25 DFY

As a 2025 model year vehicle, this Land Rover Range Rover Sport ED PHEV has not yet reached the three-year threshold required for its first mandatory MOT test under current UK roadworthiness regulations, which is why no DVSA MOT history is available. Because there is no prior test data to examine, no objective trend analysis of its maintenance or structural condition can be made from the official database. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories at this stage is simply a reflection of the vehicle's newness rather than an indicator of mechanical integrity. A prospective buyer should therefore treat the vehicle as effectively unverified in terms of its historical roadworthiness compliance, despite its near-new status. Mileage data was not provided alongside the enquiry, and the DVSA records hold no odometer readings because no test has been performed to date. For a vehicle that is approximately one year old based on its 2025 registration, typical annual mileage in the UK averages between 8,000 and 12,000 miles, so one would expect somewhere in that region on the clock. Without confirmed figures, it is impossible to assess whether the vehicle has been used sparingly, which can lead to premature deterioration of certain components such as brakes and tyres due to lack of regular use. Conversely, very low usage of a plug-in hybrid can also leave the high-voltage traction battery and the conventional 12V battery in a state of prolonged low charge, both of which can degrade lithium-ion and lead-acid chemistry over time if not maintained on a suitable charger. It is advised to confirm the exact recorded mileage and review the in-car trip computer and service book entries to verify consistency. Although no MOT defects or advisories exist to investigate, a buyer of a current-model Range Rover Sport ED PHEV must still carry out a thorough physical inspection appropriate to its age and premium status. Externally, inspect the tyre sidewalls carefully for any signs of cracking, perishing, or ozone degradation, which can affect even relatively new tyres if the vehicle has been stored outside for prolonged periods; check the tread depth across the full width to ensure even wear, as misalignment or suspension geometry issues can present quickly on a heavy SUV. Examine the brake discs for any surface corrosion, light pitting, or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been standing, and be alert for any pulling, vibration, or shudder through the steering wheel during a test drive which would indicate warped discs or sticking brake components. Listen for any clonks or knocks from the suspension over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, which could point to worn air spring components, bushes, or anti-roll bar links, all of which are known wear items on this platform. Finally, verify the complete service history, ideally through an authorised Land Rover retailer or specialist, ensuring that all required inspections have been carried out at the correct intervals given the vehicle's mileage and age. For a plug-in hybrid, particular attention should be paid to the high-voltage battery state of health, the charging cable and port condition, and confirmation that any software updates for the hybrid management system have been applied. Check the levels and condition of all fluids, including brake fluid, coolant, and the dedicated hybrid system coolant, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage and require periodic replacement. Test all electrical systems thoroughly, including the infotainment screen, Terrain Response settings, air suspension operation, and matrix LED headlight functionality, as electrical gremlins are a common issue reported on modern Range Rover vehicles. Ensure the vehicle is accompanied by its complete key set, all original documentation, and that the build year and registration details align with the accompanying V5C logbook before committing to any purchase.
