2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · N33 KAT

The latest MOT test conducted on 15 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in June 2025, indicating a stable and consistent maintenance trend regarding the vehicle's basic legal compliance. While a clean MOT history is an encouraging sign that the vehicle has met the necessary safety and environmental standards during recent inspections, it should be viewed as a baseline rather than a guarantee of total mechanical perfection, as MOT tests are non-comprehensive and do not cover all aspects of long-term mechanical reliability or component longevity. With a recorded mileage of 37,382 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 9,346 miles per annum. This usage profile is considered typical for a premium SUV and suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to prevent the common issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers or fluid degradation. However, this mileage level means that certain wear-and-tear components, particularly tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes, are likely well into their service life and will require a thorough physical inspection to ensure they are not nearing the end of their effective period. Given the absence of recorded advisories, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation and the quality of the service history. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or age-related hardening, and check for uneven tread wear which could indicate issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During your test drive, pay particular attention to the braking system; listen for any squealing or grinding and feel for any shuddering through the pedal, which could indicate warped brake discs or sticking calipers. It is also vital to verify that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as MOT tests do not confirm whether essential oil changes or fluid flushes for the coolant and brake systems have been performed. Additionally, for a vehicle of this age and type, you should inspect the air suspension system for any signs of uneven ride height or slow deflation when the vehicle is stationary. Listen for any unusual noises from the compressor or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces. Check the engine bay for any signs of weeping from gaskets or hoses, and ensure the 12V battery is in good health, as electrical components in modern Land Rovers are highly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Confirming the presence of a complete and stamped service book is the most reliable way to supplement the clean MOT record and ensure the vehicle has been maintained to the required standard.
