2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YB65 KTX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2022 at 152,997 miles identified a failure on a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows two years of clean records in 2020 and 2021, suggesting that while the vehicle is capable of passing, components are beginning to show signs of age and stress. At 152,997 miles over eleven years, this Range Rover Sport has clocked an average of 13,900 miles per year, which places significant demand on the drivetrain and suspension systems. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between November 2021 and December 2022. However, there is a concerning gap of over three years since the last recorded MOT in December 2022, meaning the vehicle has operated without an official safety check for an extended period, leaving the current state of high-mileage components unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and rubber bushings, as the previous ball joint failure points to vulnerability in the front end assembly under load. The 2019 record highlighted multiple tyre issues, including edge wear and structural cuts, indicating a history of neglect regarding basic consumable maintenance and alignment. Given the high mileage and the time elapsed since the last test, specific attention should be paid to leaks in the shock absorbers, play in control arms, and any corrosion on the structural frame, which are common failure points for this model at this interval.
