2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · PX20 VTV

Front‑end wear dominates the MOT narrative: both front tyres were flagged as approaching the legal limit with edge‑scrubbing, and a major brake‑service fault on the nearside front was recorded in early 2024. Although the most recent test in March 2026 was a clean pass, the earlier failures and the tyre advisories indicate that the front axle components have been the most recurrent source of non‑compliance, suggesting a need for close scrutiny of those systems before purchase. At 62,440 mi the vehicle averages just over 10,000 mi per annum, which sits squarely within normal usage for a six‑year‑old Range Rover Sport. The MOT history shows roughly annual testing with no prolonged gaps, implying the mileage has been accrued at a steady rate rather than in short, high‑intensity bursts. This moderate exposure generally translates to predictable wear on consumables, but the front‑axle focus in the records means that any accelerated mileage spikes would most likely have manifested as earlier or repeated brake and tyre defects. A prospective buyer should examine the front tyres for uniform tread depth, sidewall integrity and any signs of uneven wear that could confirm the edge‑scrubbing noted by the examiner; a tyre gauge reading close to 1.6 mm on any tyre would be a red flag. The front service brakes merit a thorough road‑test: the pedal should engage smoothly without a perceptible lag, and there should be no pulsation or excessive travel that might hint at lingering hydraulic or pad‑wear issues stemming from the 2024 failure. Visual inspection of the brake discs and pads for glazing, scoring or uneven wear is also advisable. The windscreen wiper on the off‑side was recorded as split in 2025, so verify that the blade now clears the glass in a single, continuous sweep and that the motor operates without stutter. While no other systems were flagged, a full functional check of the steering feel, suspension bushings and any audible knocks over bumps will help confirm that the vehicle’s overall roadworthiness aligns with the clean passes recorded after the earlier defects were addressed.
