2015 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · OV65 AAF

The most recent MOT test in April 2026 was passed, although the vehicle initially failed on a dangerous defect due to the rear brake pads being worn below 1.5mm. Aside from this specific failure, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably clean record with three consecutive clean passes between 2023 and 2025. This suggests a generally stable maintenance trend, although the recent dangerous failure indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance regarding the monitoring of consumable brake wear. With 89,405 recorded miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,128 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a luxury SUV of this vintage. This level of mileage suggests a balanced use profile, avoiding the risks associated with excessive long-term standing, such as perished rubber seals or seized calipers, while also avoiding the accelerated wear on the air suspension and drivetrain components often seen in high-mileage examples. Given the recent failure, the buyer should verify that the rear brake pads were replaced with high-quality components and carefully inspect the rear brake discs for deep scoring or a pronounced lip, which often occurs when pads are worn to the metal. During a test drive, listen for any grinding sounds or feel for brake shudder, as this would indicate that the discs were not replaced alongside the pads. Particular attention should also be paid to the air suspension system; listen for excessive compressor activity and observe whether the vehicle remains level or settles unevenly after being parked. Further inspection should focus on age-related degradation. Check the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as tyres can expire by age even if the tread depth remains legal. Examine the service history to ensure that critical fluids, including the engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluids, have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than solely by mileage. Finally, inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and verify the health of the 12V battery, as these vehicles are electronically intensive and prone to battery degradation if not regularly maintained.
