2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · NA04 KEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-05 confirms it passed without defects, though the immediate preceding cycle reveals an unusual pattern: two consecutive failures in November and December 2023, both with no recorded issues, followed by a clean pass in December 2023 and December 2024. This inconsistency suggests either a technical oversight in the testing process or a brief, unresolved mechanical issue that was not repeated in later tests. The last pass occurred just eight months ago, which is acceptable for a vehicle of this age, though the irregularities warrant closer scrutiny of components that might have been borderline or intermittently faulty. The recorded mileage of 91,473 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 8,316 miles annually—falls within the expected range for this model, indicating neither excessive wear nor prolonged neglect. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would imply prolonged inactivity, though the two back-to-back failures in late 2023 stand out as an anomaly. Without additional service records, it’s impossible to determine whether the failures were related to a single recurring fault or simply administrative errors. The steady mileage suggests consistent use, which could accelerate wear on suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain seals over time. Given the lack of specific defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and track rods, as these are common failure points in high-mileage Land Rover models. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be examined for signs of corrosion, which can compromise the vehicle’s safety. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does indicate no immediate, testable failures were present at the time of the last MOT.
