2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · FT19 USB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 94,673 miles. However, the maintenance trend is beginning to decline. After several years of clean certificates, the latest test flagged three distinct advisories: a split lower steering shaft gaiter, a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and two chips in the windscreen B Zone. The mileage accumulation is high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,500 miles per year. The usage pattern accelerated significantly in the last two years. Between November 2022 and January 2025, the odometer rose from 51,559 to 81,966 miles. A more aggressive increase occurred between January 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered 12,707 miles in just over a year. This high-intensity use increases the likelihood of premature wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the steering system to determine if the split gaiter has allowed contaminants to enter the steering shaft, which could lead to premature failure. The recurring issue with the nearside front tyre, first noted as slightly damaged in May 2022 at 47,093 miles and again as worn in February 2026, suggests a potential tracking or alignment problem that is causing uneven wear on that specific corner. Given the high mileage and the recent emergence of multiple advisories, the car requires a thorough check of all consumables. Inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning and check the suspension bushes for perishing. While the record shows no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures to date, the shift from clean passes to multiple advisories indicates the vehicle is entering a phase of increased maintenance requirements.
