2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · WN19 OGK

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 February 2023, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. The preceding MOT in February 2022 also passed but carried advisories concerning the near‑side and off‑side front tyres being close to the legal tread limit. The removal of those advisories at the 2023 test suggests that the tyre wear issue was addressed, and the overall maintenance trend appears to be improving rather than deteriorating. At 57,956 miles on the odometer the Range Rover Sport has logged roughly 8,300 miles per year since its first registration in 2019. This annual mileage is consistent with average usage for a premium SUV and does not, on its own, raise concerns about accelerated wear. However, the relatively modest total mileage combined with the vehicle’s age does hint that the car may have spent periods of inactivity, which can introduce age‑related degradation in components that are not mileage‑dependent, such as rubber seals, battery plates and brake disc corrosion. Prospective buyers should give the front tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Verify that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm across the width and that there is no cupping, sidewall cracking or uneven wear that could point to misaligned suspension or worn steering bushes. While on the road, listen for any transient thumps or shudders when turning or under braking, which may reveal worn suspension bushings, deteriorating coil springs or binding front brake calipers. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the pads have adequate material; a pulsating pedal or squeal would indicate the need for resurfacing or replacement. Given the vehicle is seven years old, also inspect age‑sensitive items irrespective of mileage. Examine the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion and test its cranking voltage; a battery that has sat for long periods may have reduced capacity. Look for signs of fluid perishing: cracked or hardened coolant hoses, oil that appears dark or gritty, and brake fluid that may be moisture‑laden, which would necessitate a flush. Verify that the service book contains regular oil, filter and timing‑belt (or chain) entries, and that any recommended time‑based services such as spark‑plug replacement, air‑filter change and suspension damper checks have been performed. Any abnormal noises, leaks or warning lights during a test drive should be investigated further before committing to purchase.
