Our Verdict
This 2015 Land Rover Range Rover has a mixed record, with two suspension-related MOT failures but a clean recent inspection. Exercise caution due to recurring suspension issues but consider it if thorough checks confirm repairs were completed.
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the nearside lower ball joint dust cover. Verify service history to confirm repairs were completed after the 2023/2024 MOT failures. Negotiate based on the recurring suspension issues, which may indicate underlying wear. Check for any unrecorded repairs or accident history. Be prepared for higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the model's complexity.
Diesel fuel economy is moderate for this large SUV, with typical combined figures around 25-30 mpg. Road tax applies (band 10, £155/yr for 2026-2027). Insurance group 25-30 will result in higher premiums. Major maintenance costs could exceed £1,000 for suspension repairs, with routine servicing averaging £300-£500. Estimated annual running cost: £1,500-£2,000.
Focus on the front suspension system, checking for worn ball joints, damaged dust covers, and fluid leaks. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, common in older Land Rovers. Test all four-wheel drive functions and check for unusual noises during test drives. Review service records to confirm timely maintenance of the diesel particulate filter and exhaust system.
The vehicle has a clean MOT history from 2022-2025, though it showed recurring suspension arm dust cover issues in 2023 and 2024. At 61,850 miles (5.5k average annual mileage for its age), it appears well-maintained but requires scrutiny of its suspension system. No model-wide reliability data is available.
No aggregate reliability data available for this specific model and year.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- Transfer Box / PTU FailureSerious
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) can fail or leak, leading to expensive driveline repairs.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Wear (The "Slap")Serious
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from timing chain stretch, often known as "timing chain slap". This is accelerated by oil dilution reaching the 6-7% threshold, which degrades lubrication.
- Door Lock Actuator FailuresModerate
The door lock actuators fail intermittently, causing doors to unlock spontaneously or refuse to lock. A common and annoying electrical fault.
