2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · ST69 EHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of brake component degradation. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 46,394 miles passed, it noted an advisory for a worn and pitted offside rear brake disc. This follows a trend seen in October 2024 where the vehicle failed due to thin nearside front brake pads and corroded rear discs. The history suggests that the owner reacts to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance on the braking system. At 46,394 miles over seven years, the Range Rover has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low annual usage for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with a 7,000-mile gap between November 2023 and October 2024. While the lower mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, low annual mileage often leads to surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits for extended, which aligns with the pitting and scoring noted in multiple recent test records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly. The repeated reports of pitting and scoring on the discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate that the rotors are reaching the end of their effective life or are reacting to moisture. Check the thickness of the remaining pads and look for sticking calipers that might be causing uneven wear. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding the ineffective nearside wiper suggests that basic consumables are overlooked until they fail inspection, so the state of all wipers and tyres should be verified personally.
