2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SJ19 KWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 28,930 miles, the tester identified thin rear brake pads and pitted or scored condition on both rear brake discs. This follows an advisory from September 2024 at 24,422 miles where thin rear pads were already flagged, indicating that the previous owner neglected to replace these components between the annual intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,133 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the October 2022 test at 11,467 miles and the September 2023 test at 19,431 miles, suggesting the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, it often leads to surface corrosion on metal parts like brake discs, which aligns with the pitting observed on the rear rotors in the latest-entry inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the discs have not reached the point of structural thinning. The recurring failure of brake pads across multiple years suggests a reactive maintenance style rather than proactive servicing. Additionally, while the 2023 failure for windscreen wipers was resolved, the wiper blades should be checked for cracking due to long periods of inactivity. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for perished rubber bushings or fluid degradation, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
