2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.4L Diesel · SF15 LHT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 74,783 miles resulted in a pass despite several significant advisories regarding tyre condition and wear. This indicates a decline from the clean records seen in 2024, suggesting that the current owner is neglecting basic consumable maintenance until failure occurs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over its eleven-year life. A gap between April 2023 and November 2023 shows the car was driven only 5,137 miles in seven months, followed by a steady increase of roughly 500 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather, which aligns with the perished tyres noted in the latest report. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and braking system architecture. The failure in April 2023 highlighted an excessively worn hydro bush on the nearside front lower suspension arm and corrosion on the rear brake pipes. While these appear to have been addressed, the presence of grease on brake pipes often indicates an attempt to mask corrosion rather than treat it. The buyer should check for fresh weeping from the hydro bushes and any signs of new surface rust on the rear hydraulic lines. The November 2025 advisories flag nearside front and both rear tyres for cracking, perishing, and reaching the legal limit. This is a clear indicator of age-related dry rot in low-mileage vehicles. Given the history of suspension component failure, the buyer should verify the integrity of all remaining bushings and the condition of the air system, if equipped, to ensure the vehicle is nearing an expensive mechanical overhaul.
