2022 Land Rover R Rover Sprt HSE Slvr D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · GY22 GGE

A clean two-test pass trajectory defines this Range Rover Sport's recorded roadworthiness, with the most recent examination on 11 February 2026 returning no advisories whatsoever and the preceding test in February 2025 also passing without a single defect entry. Notably, the DVSA record shows two entries dated 18 February 2025, one recorded as a pass and the other as a fail, both carrying no defect details. The most plausible reading is that an initial failure was immediately followed by a retest pass after a minor issue was rectified, but because no component or reason is logged, the precise nature of that earlier failure remains opaque. Regardless, the overall trend is one of stable, clean roadworthiness with no accumulating advisory patterns, no recurring component wear, and no structural corrosion flagged across the available history. Against a four-year-old vehicle, a recorded odometer reading of 48,993 miles equates to roughly 12,250 miles annually, which sits clearly above the average for a luxury SUV of this class. Higher mileage of this nature accelerates wear on the consumables and mechanical components most relevant to a prospective buyer, including brake discs and pads, tyre shoulder wear, suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and the mild-hybrid electrical ancillaries. Because the MOT record carries no advisories, there is no MOT-level evidence of premature wear on any of those items, but the mileage alone means a thorough physical inspection remains essential. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods off the road, so battery condition, brake disc corrosion, and undertray sealing should be assumed to reflect continuous use rather than the additional degradation patterns associated with extended standing. For a buyer preparing to inspect this vehicle, particular attention should be directed toward the components that typically suffer on a high-mileage premium SUV of this era, even though none have yet been flagged at test. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn upper and lower wishbone bushes or anti-roll bar drop links, both known wear items on the chassis. Brake pedal feel should be assessed for any sponginess suggesting caliper slider pin binding or flexible hydraulic hose degradation under sustained braking, and the steering should be checked for any vibration, pulling, or delayed self-centring that could point to worn tie rod ends or front damper fatigue. Tyres should be examined closely for uneven shoulder wear, which on a heavy SUV running higher mileage often reflects alignment geometry issues rather than tyre quality alone. Finally, because this is a mild-hybrid derivative, the 48V auxiliary system and associated belt-driven starter-generator components warrant specific attention even though MOT testing does not directly cover them. Any warning messages on the instrument cluster relating to the hybrid system should be queried, and during a cold start listen for any unusual whine, rattle, or hesitation from the engine bay that could indicate auxiliary belt or tensioner wear. The engine should be observed from cold for any excessive smoke from the exhaust, any visible oil misting around the cam cover or sump area, and the underside should be inspected for signs of fluid leaks from the mild-hybrid power pack. Given the clean MOT record but the elevated mileage for the platform, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Land Rover products would be a proportionate step to confirm the absence of the wear patterns the mileage would otherwise suggest.
