2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HST Mhev A 3.0L Petrol · PF22 CWW

The most recent MOT test on 30th June 2026 revealed a clean pass with three advisories related to brake system components, indicating no immediate road safety risks but highlighting wear that requires monitoring. The vehicle’s MOT history shows a stable maintenance profile, with the 2025 test passing without defects and the 2026 test recording only minor, non-critical wear advisories—particularly on both front and rear brake discs and pads. This consistency suggests that the owner has been proactive in addressing wear, though the advisories point to gradual degradation that will need closer attention as the vehicle ages further. The absence of failures or major defects in the past two years also supports the likelihood that the vehicle has been driven under reasonable conditions, avoiding excessive stress on components. The recorded mileage of 31,641 miles for a 2022 model represents a moderate annual usage rate of approximately 7,910 miles per year, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age and class. This pace is neither exceptionally light nor overly aggressive, but it does not preclude potential wear issues from prolonged standing or infrequent use, particularly in components like seals, gaskets, and brake systems that can degrade over time if not actively maintained. The lack of significant mileage gaps in the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been in regular use, though buyers should still verify if the owner has driven it consistently or if there were prolonged periods of inactivity that could have led to minor corrosion or fluid stagnation. Given the advisories on brake discs and pads, the prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system during the inspection process. Visually inspect the brake discs for any signs of excessive pitting, scoring, or uneven wear, and check for any corrosion or binding, particularly on the rear discs where the 2026 MOT noted thin pad wear. Listen for any unusual noises during braking, such as grinding or squeaking, which could indicate further wear or damage to the discs or pads. Additionally, verify that the brake fluid level is correct and that there are no leaks around the brake calipers or master cylinder. If the brake system appears to be in good condition but the advisories persist, the buyer may consider a more detailed inspection by a qualified mechanic to assess the extent of wear and plan for potential replacement of the discs and pads before they reach critical limits. For the broader vehicle inspection, focus on the following areas given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for signs of perishing or cracking, which can weaken the tyre structure and compromise safety over time. Inspect the suspension components, including coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes, for any signs of wear, leaks, or excessive play, as these can degrade with age and lead to poor handling or road noise. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and ensure that the catalytic converter and muffler meet current emissions standards. Finally, given the vehicle’s hybrid electric powertrain, verify the battery health and electrical connections for any signs of corrosion or wear, and confirm that the service book or maintenance records have been updated for the recommended fluid changes, such as the coolant, transmission fluid, and differential lubricant, which should have been serviced within the manufacturer’s recommended intervals. If the vehicle has been driven at a lower mileage rate, also check for standing corrosion on the undercarriage, particularly around the wheel arches, radiator, and exhaust system, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation.
