2015 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · AD15 NDN

The most recent DVSA MOT assessment for this 2015 Land Rover Range Rover is recorded on 13 January 2026, where the vehicle achieved a pass with no defects recorded. However, it is worth noting that this pass was issued on the same date as a prior failure for a dangerous offside rear tyre with tread depth below the statutory 1.6mm requirement, indicating that an immediate replacement was undertaken to clear the test. Prior to this, the vehicle passed without advisories on 28 January 2025 and 25 January 2024, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend over recent years, though the underlying advisory history from earlier tests reveals ongoing concerns relating to tyre wear patterns and front brake condition that warrant careful inspection. The recorded mileage of 74,813 miles over an 11 year period equates to an average annual usage of approximately 6,800 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and class. This rate of accumulation is consistent with predominantly short or mixed-use driving rather than sustained high mileage motorway use, meaning that while major mechanical components such as the engine, transmission, and driveline are unlikely to be excessively worn, consumable items including brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension components may have endured greater degradation per mile due to repeated cold starts and urban cycle use. The pattern of advisories suggests steady wear progression rather than a sudden spike in mileage that might indicate neglect. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the recurring offside front tyre wear advisories recorded in 2021 and 2022, both noting wear on the inner edge. This pattern of uneven inner edge wear on a Range Rover of this era is commonly symptomatic of wear in the front suspension bushes, tired coil springs, or misalignment of the front geometry, potentially including the lower control arm bush or the self-levelling air suspension components which are known wear items. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, observe whether the vehicle sits level at all four corners, and check for any warning lights relating to the suspension or ride height system. A four-wheel alignment check should be considered advisable given the historical inner edge wear pattern. The front brake disc and pad advisories from December 2020 indicate that the discs were already pitted and scored at that point, which on a vehicle now six years further advanced is likely to mean the discs have either been replaced or are now approaching a further replacement threshold. Inspect the discs visually for lipping, excessive corrosion around the outer edge, and any obvious scoring, as standing corrosion from the relatively modest annual mileage can accelerate surface degradation. Additionally, given the 11 year calendar age, a thorough inspection should include checking the 12V battery condition, as battery lifespan is frequently governed by time rather than mileage, and verifying the service history for time-based replacements of brake fluid, coolant, and differential fluids where applicable. The offside rear tyre failure in 2026 also warrants checking all four tyres for age-related sidewall perishing or cracking, as tyres older than six years should be inspected closely regardless of remaining tread depth, and verifying that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully functional given its prior major defect.
