2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · 2 RNT

The 2015 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and largely unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 September 2025 at 48,316 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on that date, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical safety standards at its most recent inspection. A failed test occurred the previous day at 48,311 miles, though notably, no defects were recorded against that failure. This anomaly suggests an administrative issue or an immediate rectification and retest rather than an underlying mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories or failures across the documented history implies consistent, if minimal, upkeep. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,392 miles annually. Between the September 2022 test at 37,878 miles and the September 2024 test at 45,231 miles, the vehicle covered 7,353 miles over two years. Mileage then plateaued significantly, with only 3,085 miles added between September 2024 and the September 2025 test. This stagnation points to prolonged periods of standing, which introduces its own mechanical risks. Low mileage does not equate to low wear, as infrequent use can cause suspension bushes to perish, brake discs to corrode, and tyres to develop flat spots. Despite the spotless MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific failure points associated with low-mileage, heavy luxury SUVs. Check the air suspension compressor and bags for leaks or failure, as infrequent cycling can cause seals to dry out. Inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads; standing vehicles often suffer from severe surface corrosion on the discs, leading to binding calipers and uneven braking. Examine the inner and outer sidewalls of the tyres for cracking, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Finally, scrutinise the underbody and suspension mounting points for structural corrosion, as a lack of regular road spray can sometimes accelerate rust in certain chassis crevices.
