2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric · GP14 CHR

The vehicle was last presented for MOT on 13 February 2026 and achieved a Pass with no defects or advisories recorded, and this outcome is consistent with the three preceding annual tests in 2025, 2024, and 2023, all of which were also clean Passes with no recorded advisories. The only entry of note in the entire DVSA history is a 2022 advisory noting a child seat fitted that prevented full inspection of the nearside rear adult belt, which is a purely administrative observation rather than a mechanical or structural concern and carries no implications regarding the roadworthiness of the vehicle itself. The overall maintenance trend therefore reads as exceptionally stable, with no pattern of recurring component wear, structural corrosion, lighting defects, brake issues, or suspension failures appearing over the last four consecutive tests. Annual mileage over the seven-year life of this Range Rover Sport works out at approximately 8,476 miles per year, which sits broadly in line with the UK national average for a vehicle of this age and class. The recorded figure of 59,329 miles suggests reasonably consistent, steady usage rather than extremes of either long-term standing or very high motorway accumulation. Given that Land Rover products of this generation are often used for towing, light off-road work, or mixed urban and rural driving, an annual rate of this magnitude is unlikely to have placed excessive stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, or automatic transmission, although it remains important to verify that the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods between MOTs. Despite the entirely clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should not treat the absence of advisories as a substitute for a thorough physical inspection given the vehicle's age. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, which can occur on premium SUVs kept on driveways or in garages even where tread depth remains adequate, and particular attention should be paid to the 21-inch or 22-inch factory fitments typical of this model, as these are more susceptible to kerb damage and impact bruising. Brake discs, particularly the rear items, are prone to surface corrosion and binding caliper slides from low-speed or infrequent use, so the wheels should be spun by hand during a viewing to confirm free rotation without roughness or grinding, and the discs visually inspected for lipping or scoring. A test drive should include firm braking from at least 40 mph to check for any shudder through the steering wheel or pedal, which would indicate warped front discs. The 12V battery and auxiliary battery systems on this vehicle are age-sensitive items that do not appear in MOT records, and given the vehicle is now seven years old, both units may be approaching the end of their reliable service life, so a battery health check or voltage test under load is highly advisable. All fluid services, including engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, transfer box oil, and most importantly the automatic transmission fluid, are on calendar-based intervals rather than mileage alone, and the buyer should verify documentary evidence that these have been refreshed within the manufacturer's recommended schedule, particularly the brake fluid which is hygroscopic and should be renewed every two years regardless of mileage. It is also worth inspecting the air suspension struts and compressor for any signs of oil seepage, the panoramic roof drainage channels for debris accumulation, and the underside of the vehicle for any developing corrosion on subframes or brake lines, as the MOT standard does not always capture early-stage surface corrosion before it becomes a failure point at a subsequent test.
