2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · J19 DBB

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 6 July 2026 at 87,413 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving after a period of intermittent faults. A failure in June 2025 at 77,382 miles highlighted a split nearside front lower ball joint gaiter and a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault. These issues were resolved within two days, as evidenced by the subsequent pass on 26 June 2025. This indicates that the owner is responsive to immediate mechanical failures and safety-critical faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,947 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,556 miles in February 2018 to the current 87,413 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation or battery issues. The steady climb in mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps maintain component health. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the fuel and braking systems. The July 2024 test flagged corrosion on the nearside and offside rear upper flexi hoses and metal pipes, so checking the integrity of these lines is necessary. The November 2019 record noted a slight rear differential oil leak, so a physical inspection of the underside is required to ensure this has not worsened or led to significant fluid loss. Although the 2025 SRS warning lamp fault was cleared, verifying the airbag system status remains a prudent step. Suspension components also warrant attention. While the ball joint gaiter issue was resolved in 2025, the age and mileage of the vehicle mean that other rubber bushes and ball joints may be nearing the end of their service life. Given the previous mention of corrosion on fuel lines, a thorough check of the vehicle's underbody for structural rust or degraded hoses will provide the most accurate picture of its long-term reliability.
