2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · SM11 THO

The 2015 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 January 2026 at 17,039 miles. The MOT record shows zero defects or advisories across the last four consecutive tests, indicating diligent upkeep in recent years. A single failure on 20 October 2022 at 11,392 miles related solely to non-conforming registration plate spacing, a trivial administrative issue that was rectified on the same day. No recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion have surfaced since. Averaging roughly 1,549 miles per year, this vehicle has seen exceptionally light use for an eleven-year-old SUV. The mileage accumulation remains steady rather than erratic, with 871 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and 1,525 miles added between January 2024 and January 2025. Such low annual mileage often points to short urban trips or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can cause brake calipers to seize or tyre sidewalls to perish through standing. Despite the minimal mileage, the consistent testing schedule suggests the owner maintained annual compliance rather than letting the vehicle sit untested for years. A physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to low-mileage degradation rather than high-mileage wear. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and dust covers for perishing, and closely examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, common issues on vehicles that stand for extended periods. Inspect the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the undercarriage, paying particular attention to the chassis rails and suspension mounting points. Tyre age and sidewall condition warrant close scrutiny, as original or early replacement rubber will likely show cracking regardless of remaining tread depth.
