2024 Kawasaki Range Rover Sport 1.0L Petrol · SRZ 2

The most recent official DVSA MOT test for this vehicle was conducted on 3 August 2022, which resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. At the time of that assessment, the vehicle met the minimum statutory roadworthiness requirements on all items inspected under the MOT scheme, including lighting and signalling, braking performance, suspension components, steering and tyres, exhaust and emissions, and structural integrity. With only a single test on record against the stated current mileage of 93,592, there is insufficient longitudinal data within the MOT history to establish a meaningful trend of improvement or decline; however, the absence of any recorded advisories or failure items does suggest that no significant wear-related deterioration was flagged at the point of test. A prospective buyer should nevertheless interpret a single clean pass as a snapshot rather than a guarantee of condition, particularly given the considerable gap between the recorded test and the present day. The mileage context for this vehicle is notable and warrants careful consideration. Registered as a 2024 model, it is approximately two years old yet has accumulated 93,592 recorded miles, equating to an annual mileage of roughly 46,796 miles, which is substantially above the typical UK average of around 7,500 to 10,000 miles per year. This level of sustained high usage places considerable demand on the major mechanical assemblies, particularly the engine, automatic transmission, front and rear differential assemblies, turbocharger, and the diesel particulate filter if applicable, all of which are designed for durability but will nonetheless experience accelerated wear under such conditions. Consumable items such as brake pads, brake discs, tyres, drive belts, and suspension components will also require more frequent replacement than would be expected on a lower-mileage example. A thorough verification of service history is therefore essential, with particular attention to evidence of timely oil and filter changes at manufacturer-recommended intervals, transmission fluid servicing, and any recorded replacements of wear parts. Given the absence of MOT advisories or failure items in the available history, the buyer cannot rely on the test record to identify developing concerns and must instead conduct a focused physical and dynamic inspection. On a road test, particular attention should be paid to any signs of brake shudder or vibration under deceleration, which can indicate warped or excessively worn brake discs, and any pulling to one side, which may suggest binding calipers or uneven pad wear. The suspension should be examined for knocking or creaking over uneven surfaces, as worn control arm bushes, top mounts, and coil springs are common on high-mileage vehicles, and these conditions are often only apparent once the vehicle is loaded and driven. Steering response should be checked for any vagueness or knocking at full lock, which can indicate wear in the steering rack or track rod ends, and the tyres should be inspected for uneven shoulder wear that may point to misalignment or worn suspension geometry. A full underbody inspection is advisable to check for fluid leaks from the engine, transmission, or differential seals, as well as any signs of corrosion on structural and suspension components, particularly given that high-mileage vehicles used predominantly on motorway or trunk-road surfaces can still accumulate road salt and grit in suspension mounting points and underbody seams. Additional age-and-mileage-appropriate checks should be undertaken even where MOT records appear favourable. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, which can occur regardless of tread depth on vehicles subjected to high usage and frequent thermal cycling, and the manufacturing date codes should be confirmed to ensure they are within a serviceable age. The 12-volt battery should be load-tested, as repeated short journeys combined with high electrical load from ancillary systems can shorten battery life considerably, and the charging system should be verified for correct voltage output. Brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid should be assessed for condition and replacement history, as these fluids degrade over time as well as with use, and any evidence of overdue fluid servicing should be factored into purchase negotiations. Finally, verifying the completeness and authenticity of the service book, accompanying invoices, and any digital service records is critical, as a vehicle of this specification and mileage without fully documented main dealer or specialist maintenance history presents a significantly elevated risk of undisclosed mechanical neglect, and independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.
