2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OV15 YPP

This Range Rover Sport passed its MOT recently, but the history reveals a distinct lack of preventative maintenance. The most significant immediate risk is to the front suspension. The test conducted just a week ago flagged severely deteriorated dust covers on both front lower suspension arm ball joints. If these rubber boots split completely, grease escapes and dirt enters the joint, leading to rapid wear and potential failure. There is also a clear pattern of ignored brake wear. Advisories for worn, pitted, or scored discs and thin rear pads appear consistently between 2023 and 2026. The fact that the rear pads were noted as "wearing thin" in 2025 and again in 2026 suggests no remedial work was done in the interim. This indicates the braking system is due for a substantial refresh. The condition trend is worsening. While the car has consistently passed its tests, the accumulation of unaddressed advisories—particularly the new suspension faults appearing alongside lingering brake issues—points to a vehicle being driven on a tight maintenance budget.
