Our Verdict
This 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport diesel is a reasonable buy if priced accordingly, but the 2023 MOT failure shows it has needed significant wear-item attention. Budget for ongoing maintenance, as premium 4x4s of this age carry higher running costs than mainstream cars.
When viewing this Range Rover Sport, ask for proof that the 2023 MOT failure items were properly fixed — the offside rear brake pads less than 1.5mm, offside front tyre below 1.6mm, offside rear tyre on the limit, and rear oil leak should all have been addressed before the September 2023 pass. A full service history is essential on a 2015 3.0 TDV6 to confirm timing belt, fluids and filters have been kept up to date.
Negotiate on the basis that this is a high-mileage-potential premium vehicle with a recorded oil leak in 2023, even if minor. Check for any recurrence of leaks underneath and confirm the tyres fitted are matched and in good condition. Given the 2022 note about a child seat preventing belt inspection, verify the rear seatbelts operate freely with no damage.
As a 2993cc diesel Range Rover Sport first registered in March 2015, this vehicle will fall into a higher VED band for older diesels and likely an elevated insurance group suited to large luxury 4x4s. Real-world fuel economy on the 3.0 diesel is reasonable for the size but expect 30-35mpg in mixed use rather than official figures.
Typical maintenance for this model includes costly brakes, tyres and suspension components, and any diesel emissions or oil leak work will be priced at dealer or specialist rates. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is around £2,200-£2,800 given the vehicle class and age.
The 2023 MOT failure listed offside rear brake pads less than 1.5mm thick and two tyres worn to or below the legal limit, so inspect all four tyres for even wear and check brake pad thickness all round — uneven wear may point to suspension or alignment issues on this Grey SUV. The same test noted a rear oil leak, not excessive; physically check underneath the engine and gearbox for fresh oil and confirm it has not worsened since 2023.
The 2022 MOT recorded a child seat blocking inspection of the nearside rear adult belt, so test that belt fully and look for fraying or mechanism faults. With no defects on the 2024 or 2025 tests, overall recent condition looks acceptable, but a pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist is wise given the earlier failure.
The vehicle (registration D23AAD, grey, 3.0-litre diesel) shows 70,485 miles on its latest 2025 MOT, which is modest for an 11-year-old large SUV. Its MOT history is mostly clean, with a pass in 2025 and 2024 showing no defects, but a 2023 failure for tyres, brake pads and an oil leak required rectification before passing days later. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so condition must be judged on its own history alone.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, so this example must be assessed purely on its individual history.
