2015 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · OO55 AAD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-24 at 74,918 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass trend across all four annual tests. The absence of advisories or failings suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been overlooked, though this does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints. The tester’s clean bill of health at each interval implies either diligent servicing or deferred maintenance that has yet to manifest as failures. However, the lack of advisory notes also means there is no documented evidence of proactive attention to wear items such as brake pad thickness, tyre condition, or fluid levels, which are critical at this mileage. The mileage progression of approximately 6,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation. The recorded mileage increments between tests—around 2,850 miles per year—suggest steady operation without extended periods of disuse, which could have accelerated corrosion or degraded rubber components. The most recent test occurred just over 14 months ago, placing it within the DVSA’s acceptable window for a pre-purchase inspection, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing or repairs not reflected in the MOT record. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, where wear becomes more pronounced after 100,000 miles. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs, and listen for clunks over bumps that suggest deteriorated joints. The brakes, while never failed, should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness or glazed discs, as binding or excessive noise would not have been captured in a pass. Corrosion is another concern; examine wheel arches, subframe mounts, and sills for rust penetration, especially if the vehicle has seen off-road use or winter salt exposure. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or sagging hangers, as these are common failure points in this model range.
