2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · RM02 ALY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. While it passed the latest test in May 2026 at 85,342 miles, the record reveals new mechanical failures following several years of clean results. The tester flagged a severely deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a failing nearside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. The presence of uneven wear on the offside front and rear tyres also indicates potential alignment issues or suspension-related geometry that was not previously addressed. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between September 2023 and May 2026, the vehicle covered 16,633 miles, representing a steady usage profile. However, the transition from a clean record in 2024 and 2025 to multiple failures in early 2026 suggests that while the car is not overdriven, it is now entering a phase where wear-and-tear items like rubber components and tyres are actively being serviced only after they reach a point of failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to ensure the deteriorated ball joint boot has not caused internal damage to the CV joint itself, which would require a more expensive replacement. The 2022 report noted pitted brake discs and a rear differential oil leak should be re-checked to ensure the leak has not worsened and the brakes remain effective. Given the recent edge wear on the offside tyres, a professional check for worn bushes or control arms is necessary to rule out a tracking fault causing premature tyre degradation.
