2019 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · OO07 CEC

A generally clean roadworthiness profile is supported by this Range Rover's MOT history, with the only outright failure occurring on the day before the 2025-06-29 pass in the form of a dangerous nearside rear tyre structural bulge and a major front position lamp defect, both of which were clearly rectified before the car returned and passed the following day. The remaining test entries across 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 are unblemished passes, with the 2022 examination providing the only meaningful advisory notes covering engine and undertray fitment, a front active roll bar high-pressure pipe showing slight fluid seepage, a deteriorating but legible front registration plate, an offside rear tyre with a shallow cut, and an insecure nearside front fog lamp. The absence of repeated advisories on the same components across consecutive tests is a reassuring indicator that no single wear point has been allowed to develop into a chronic issue on the record. Annual mileage of roughly 7,090 miles over a seven-year life sits squarely within typical expectations for a luxury SUV of this type, and the recorded progression from 2022 through 2025 suggests steady, moderate use rather than extended periods off the road or unusually high motorway accumulation. There are no large gaps between annual tests that would imply long-term standing, which is particularly relevant for a complex four-wheel-drive vehicle where brake calipers, air suspension components, transfer box seals, and driveline fluids can deteriorate during inactivity. Equally, the modest annual mileage means that consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and the timing chain service interval should not yet be at the extreme end of wear, although the low overall figure should not be interpreted as a substitute for documented service history, particularly for the air suspension compressor, electronic modules, and infotainment system which are known weak points on this generation of Range Rover. The 2022 advisory concerning a slight fluid leak from the front active roll bar high-pressure pipe warrants close physical inspection, as this component runs at very high pressure to operate the dynamic stability system and any seepage left unaddressed can lead to premature failure of the roll bar actuator, uneven cornering behaviour, or warning lights on the dashboard. On a test drive, listen for clonks or thuds from the front suspension when traversing speed humps or uneven tarmac, which would suggest worn anti-roll bar bushes, droplinks, or the upper and lower wishbone joints that commonly deteriorate on this chassis. The steering should feel precise and self-centring without looseness or a clunk on full lock, and the body should remain level during direction changes rather than rolling excessively, which would indicate either a worn roll bar system or fatigued air springs. Given that the only tyre-related advisory recorded was a shallow offside rear cut in 2022 and the dangerous rear tyre bulge flagged in 2025 was an isolated event rather than a recurring pattern, there is no suggestion of chronic underinflation or misalignment, but it remains prudent to confirm that all four tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth and to inspect the inner and outer shoulders for uneven wear that could point to a geometry issue or worn suspension geometry. Under the bonnet, examine the area around the front active roll bar pipework for fresh oil residue, check that the engine oil level is correct and free of coolant contamination, and verify that the air suspension rises promptly to ride height from a cold start without compressor cycling. Finally, confirm operation of every front position lamp, fog lamp, and rear light, as the 2025 failure demonstrates how a single failed bulb can result in a major defect, and ensure that the registration plate is securely attached and legible in line with the 2022 advisory.
