2021 Land Rover RR Sport HSE DYN Blck D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · MA 6000

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 March 2026, was passed but returned two advisories concerning the front braking system – the discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored and the pads were identified as thin. The two preceding tests in July 2024 and March 2025 were clean, indicating that the vehicle has been generally well maintained up to the point where brake wear has now become evident. The appearance of these front‑brake advisories suggests a modest decline in that specific area, while the overall maintenance trend remains satisfactory. At 43,988 miles recorded in September 2026, the Range Rover Sport has averaged roughly 8,800 miles per year since its first registration in 2021. This mileage is squarely within the normal band for a five‑year‑old premium SUV and does not point to any periods of excessive short‑term use or prolonged storage that might have accelerated component fatigue. The relatively modest annual distance implies that major wear items such as the drivetrain, suspension and chassis are likely to be in a reasonable state, provided routine servicing has been observed. Given the front‑brake advisories, a prospective buyer should give the braking system close attention. Inspect the front discs for depth of scoring, heat‑induced cracking or excessive rust, and verify that the pad material still exceeds the minimum thickness required for safe operation. On a test drive listen for any pulsation, squeal or grinding when applying the brakes, and feel for any pull to one side that could indicate uneven disc wear or a sticking caliper. It would be prudent to arrange a professional brake inspection and, if the discs are approaching the minimum thickness or show deep pitting, plan for replacement of both discs and pads within the next few thousand miles to avoid a future MOT failure. Beyond the brakes, the vehicle’s age warrants checks on items that deteriorate with time as well as use. Examine the tyre sidewalls for dry‑rot, cracking or bulging, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods, and confirm that tread depth is uniform across the wheelbase. Test the 12‑volt battery voltage and, if possible, the cranking amperage, as a five‑year‑old battery may be nearing the end of its service life. Verify that the coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, looking for any signs of moisture or contamination. Finally, inspect the suspension bushings, control‑arm joints and rear‑axle mounts for any looseness, creaking or excessive play, and ensure that the exhaust system is free of rust perforations or loose mounts, all of which are typical time‑based concerns on a vehicle of this vintage.
