2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · BT65 LBF

The most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑08 records a PASS at 67,599 miles, yet the same day a failure was logged for the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and the central front lower suspension arm dust cover, both failing to prevent dirt ingress (5.3.4(b)(ii)). The record shows a gradual improvement after early faults in 2019‑2020, but the fresh suspension issue indicates the vehicle’s condition is stable rather than deteriorating. Between 2018 and 2026 the mileage rose from 12,695 to 67,599 miles, an average of roughly 6,150 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old model. MOT tests are spaced about 11‑12 months apart, with brief gaps such as the period from late 2019 to October 2020. The steady mileage progression suggests regular driving rather than prolonged storage, and the data set is sufficiently dense to reveal clear wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the front suspension assembly closely, checking the ball joint dust covers for tears or loosening that could allow contamination. The rear brake pads noted as thin in 2020 require verification that wear has not progressed to the point of affecting braking performance. The oil system shows repeated minor leaks from the gearbox sump, transfer box, and cradle; a physical check should confirm whether any seepage persists. Tyre condition merits attention, given the nail penetrations recorded in 2024, and the front position lamp should be tested for proper operation. Finally, examine suspension bushes and mounting points for corrosion or excessive play. Overall the vehicle is roadworthy, but the recent suspension dust‑cover failure and historic oil leaks mean a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is essential. The mileage profile reflects normal use, and the absence of structural rust or major mechanical failures in the MOT history points to a reasonably maintained example, provided the identified wear items are addressed.
