2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · BX15 AHG

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in April 2022 at 37,730 miles resulted in a failure due to front brake pads being below the legal 1.5mm limit. While the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, the trend suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure during annual testing intervals. At 37,730 miles, the mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,430 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with only 1,905 miles covered between the March 2021 and April 2022 tests. This extremely low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber component degradation, seized calipers, and fluid-related issues. The lack of any MOT records since April 2022 indicates the vehicle has sat stationary or been unregistered for over four years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as recurring advisories for thin pads appeared in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Given the long period of inactivity, the inspector should check for corroded brake discs and seized calipers from lack of use. The 2019 note regarding undertrays obscuring components also suggests a need to visually inspect the chassis for structural corrosion or leaks that may remain hidden. Additionally, the rubber bushings and suspension components should be examined for cracking or dry rot consistent with age despite the low mileage.
