2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4.4L Diesel · W6 DDL

The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 October 2025 at 107,941 miles, resulted in a pass, but the advisory notices reveal a vehicle entering a phase of accelerated front-end wear. Multiple suspension components were flagged for deterioration at that test, including both nearside and offside front inner and lower suspension arm pins or bushes, along with front and rear anti-roll bar pins or bushes. All were noted as worn but not yet resulting in excessive movement. The tester also recorded worn brake discs on all four corners, though not excessively so. This cluster of advisories, appearing after two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2022, indicates a worsening trend in front-end and braking component condition over the last two years. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of changing use. Between October 2023 at 75,971 miles and October 2024 at 93,595 miles, the vehicle covered 17,624 miles in a single year. That annual total then dropped sharply to 14,346 miles over the following twelve months leading to October 2025. This step-change in usage rate aligns directly with the sudden emergence of multiple advisories. The rapid accumulation through 2024 likely accelerated bushing and brake wear, while the slightly reduced mileage in the most recent year suggests lighter use, potentially allowing minor deterioration to progress without the masking effect of heavy daily driving. A buyer should treat the October 2025 advisories as a live mechanical to-do list. The front suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links require physical inspection for play and cracking rubber. Worn front and rear brake discs at this mileage point to a vehicle that has done a mix of steady-speed and demanding driving, so the condition of the pads and any lipping on the disc edges should be measured. On a vehicle of this age and type, any corrosion around the subframe mounting points and rear chassis outriggers must be checked, as these structural areas are prone to hidden deterioration that MOTs only flag once advanced. The October 2024 failure for exposed ply on the offside rear tyre and worn edges on both rear tyres suggests previous owners deferred basic tyre maintenance, so the current set's age, brand, and sidewall condition deserve close scrutiny.
