2022 Land Rover R-Rover Sport DYN SE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · LU71 XCY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-05 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the past three cycles. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the single failure in March 2025—despite no recorded defects—stands out as an anomaly. Given the clean pass in March 2026, there is no evidence of worsening mechanical trends, but the brief lapse in 2025 warrants scrutiny of components that might have been overlooked or were near their service thresholds at the time. The recorded mileage of 27,352 miles over four years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,838 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity to indicate neglect or excessive wear, though the gap between the 2025 failure and subsequent pass (just one day apart) is unusual and may reflect a rushed or incomplete inspection. The lack of mileage data between tests makes it impossible to confirm whether intermediate servicing was performed, but the steady progression suggests no extreme conditions have been endured. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs , particularly the rear, given the 2025 failure’s proximity to the pass date—this could indicate a borderline condition that narrowly avoided detection. The rear brakes should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as the tester’s failure in 2025 (without specifics) might imply a recurring issue. Structural integrity, especially around the floor pans and wheel arches , should be examined for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure risks. Finally, the exhaust emissions system and structural integrity of the MHEV hybrid components should be verified, as hybrid systems often require specialised diagnostics beyond standard MOT checks.
