2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 5.0L Petrol · W7 WKA

The 2019 Range Rover Sport presents a clean and stable mechanical picture through its MOT history. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 35,742 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle is currently in sound roadworthy condition. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. An advisory for worn front and rear brake pads was recorded on 4 October 2022 at 24,067 miles, but by the 2025 test at 29,462 miles and again in 2026, no further braking system defects were flagged. This suggests the previous owner addressed the issue promptly and has maintained the car consistently since. Mileage accumulation tells an interesting story. Between October 2022 and January 2025, the car covered approximately 5,395 miles over 27 months, averaging just under 200 miles per month. Then, between 24 January 2025 and 19 January 2026, the odometer jumped by 6,280 miles in 12 months, a notable acceleration to around 523 miles per month. The overall average of roughly 5,106 miles per year remains low for a seven-year-old vehicle, which could indicate long periods of inactivity. Extended standing can cause its own issues, including flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and deteriorated rubber components like suspension bushes and coolant hoses. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The 2022 advisory for worn brake pads, particularly the inner pad wearing unevenly on the front axle, hints at potential caliper slide pin or guide bush issues that may have recurred since. Check the condition of all brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns. Given the car's low annual mileage, inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as original rubber from 2019 may be approaching replacement regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes, air springs if fitted, and exhaust mountings deserve close attention, as infrequent use can cause rubber to perish from dry rot rather than mechanical wear. A short test drive over varied surfaces will reveal any dormant suspension clunks or brake judder not captured during static inspection.
