2015 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · MA05 CKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history indicates a sudden decline in maintenance standards. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 61,084 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior at 61,068 miles. That failure revealed critical mechanical issues including a defective electronic parking brake and low parking brake efficiency, suggesting that the owner neglected vital safety-related components until forced to act by the MOT test process. At 61,084 miles, this Range Rover has significantly low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows a period of stability between 2022 and 2024, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. However, the gap of only 3,100 miles between November 2024 and November 2025 coincides with the appearance of multiple faults. This low-use pattern can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized brake components, which aligns with the failures seen in the ball joint dust covers. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the November 2025 failure flagged both ball joint dust covers on the lower front arms. Dirt ingress in these areas will lead to premature joint failure if ignored. Furthermore, the record shows all four tyres were at or near the legal limit in December 2025, with the offside rear at as low as 2.2mm. This indicates a lack of proactive consumable replacement. The electronic parking brake system should be tested repeatedly to ensure the repair following the previous failure was robust, as these units are notoriously expensive to rectify on Land Rover vehicles.
