2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT3.0L Diesel

This Range Rover Sport has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-09-18, with no defects recorded at 97,014 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, as evidenced by four consecutive passes over the past two years, including the latest test just ten months ago. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues requiring attention. However, the single failure in June 2024—though unusual—was resolved promptly, as the vehicle passed its subsequent test just four days later. This pattern indicates no worsening trend in maintenance, though the brief gap between failure and retest warrants confirmation that the issue was addressed efficiently. The mileage progression of approximately 8,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the jump from 75,791 miles in April 2023 to 87,233 miles by June 2024 suggests a period of increased usage. The 11,442 miles covered in that year alone is notable, potentially accelerating wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. Conversely, the 3,801 miles between the 2024 failure and retest implies minimal driving during that interval, which could have allowed for repairs to settle or corrosion to develop. The most recent 3,980 miles since the 2025-04-11 test indicate consistent but not excessive usage, though the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying issues in areas like subframe integrity or exhaust system integrity. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushings, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The absence of brake-related advisories does not guarantee there are no binding calipers or uneven wear, so a thorough check of the brake discs and pads—especially rear—is essential. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, should be examined closely, as aluminium-bodied Land Rovers are susceptible to hidden pitting. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and downstream components, should also be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not recorded in the MOT history. Finally, the differential and transfer case fluids should be verified for contamination or low levels, as these are critical for longevity in a high-mileage SUV.
