2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · V8 CEO

The vehicle holds a current, valid MOT certificate following a pass on 1 May 2026 at 34,240 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but reveals a recurring pattern of neglect toward tyre condition and basic brake wear items. The most recent test flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, indicating uneven wear likely from misalignment or underinflation rather than simple high-mileage use. This is not a structural or major mechanical failure, but it does point to a previous owner who allowed consumable items to degrade to the point of advisory or failure before acting. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. Between the failed test on 17 April 2025 at 26,931 miles and the pass on 1 May 2026 at 34,240 miles, the vehicle covered 7,309 miles in just over twelve months. That sits comfortably within the typical annual mileage for a four-year-old vehicle of this type. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest clocking or prolonged storage. The record is sparse, with only two test events in the past year, but the data that exists is internally consistent. The failed test on 17 April 2025 is the most revealing entry. The tester recorded rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, a definitive failure item, alongside three separate tyre wear advisories. The fact that the vehicle passed just hours later on the same day at 26,933 miles suggests the owner replaced the pads and possibly the tyres immediately before retesting. That is a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. A buyer should inspect the rear brake calipers for binding, check the condition and date stamps of the current tyres, and verify whether the rear suspension bushes and tracking are in order, given the repeated edge wear on the rear rubber. Beyond the tyre and brake wear, the MOT record contains no structural corrosion, suspension, or emissions failures. That is reassuring for a vehicle of this age and suggests the underside and bodywork have not been subjected to severe neglect. Still, the pattern of failing on basic items before passing on the same day raises questions about routine inspection habits. A hands-on inspection should focus on the rear braking system, tyre wear patterns, and suspension geometry to confirm whether the underlying causes of the recurring wear have been properly addressed.
