2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · OV65 AAO

The latest MOT test on 21 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the five-year history provided, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, characterized by a consistent record of clean passes and a complete absence of advisories or failures. This suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very light duty, indicating a high level of mechanical consistency and a lack of recurring systemic faults. With a recorded mileage of 66,660 miles over an eleven-year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,060 miles per year. This is a moderate usage rate that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage motorway vehicles while remaining high enough to prevent the severe degradation often seen in vehicles that suffer from prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this suggests that the engine and drivetrain have not been overstressed, though it places a greater emphasis on the importance of time-based rather than mileage-based service intervals. Since the MOT history is devoid of defects, the physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation and the specific vulnerabilities of the Range Rover Sport platform. A primary concern for a vehicle of this age is the condition of the rubber components. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracking or perishing, as tyres can lose structural integrity over time even if the tread depth remains legal. Similarly, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of splitting or corrosion, which can lead to unpredictable handling or clunking noises during low-speed manoeuvres. Further attention should be paid to the braking system and fluid health. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Verify the service history to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and brake fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than just mileage. Finally, test the 12V battery health and the operation of the air suspension system, listening for excessive compressor activity or observing any abnormal leaning when the vehicle is parked, as these components often degrade based on age regardless of the low mileage.
