2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Electric diesel · BUD 1

Front‑tyre tread is already at the legal minimum, a pattern that has appeared on three consecutive MOTs and now flags both nearside and off‑side front tyres as worn close to the limit. The 28 May 2026 test was passed, but the advisory makes clear that tyre replacement is imminent if the vehicle is to remain road‑legal and safe. At 65,421 mi for an eleven‑year‑old Range Rover Sport the annual average is roughly 5,950 mi, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this class. Such low mileage often points to light, possibly intermittent use, which can reduce mechanical wear but also allows age‑related degradation of rubber components and seals. The MOT record shows no gaps in testing, confirming the vehicle has been presented for annual checks throughout its life, yet the modest mileage does not preclude the need to inspect age‑sensitive parts. Prospective buyers should verify tyre condition by measuring tread depth on all four wheels, looking for sidewall cracks or uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or neglected rotation. A road‑test should include listening for low‑frequency hum or vibration at higher speeds, which may betray worn sidewalls or a developing balance issue. Given the recurring front‑tyre advisories, replacing the entire tyre set is advisable to maintain balanced handling, and a professional wheel‑alignment check should follow any tyre change. Inspect the suspension bushes, control arms and subframe for any signs of corrosion or looseness, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Brake performance warrants close attention despite the lack of recent advisories. The 2021 MOT noted rear discs and pads approaching wear limits and a slight lip on the front discs; therefore, a visual inspection of disc surface for scoring or excessive rust and a measurement of pad thickness are essential. During a test drive, feel for any pedal pulsation, increased stopping distances, or squealing noises that could indicate residual wear. Replace the wiper blades, flagged in 2020, to ensure adequate visibility in wet conditions. Addressing these specific items will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
