2015 Land Rover Range Rover

CarHunch analysed 7,246 real MOT records for the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2015 Range Rover passes its MOT first time at 87.3%, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, which is genuinely impressive for a luxury SUV of this age. However, nearly one in three of these vehicles (30.5%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a significant safety concern that warrants a pre-purchase inspection and full service history review.

At a median mileage of 61,412 miles, these Range Rovers are mid-range on wear for their age, and while they average just 1.16 failures per test, the 7.8 advisories per vehicle suggest ongoing maintenance costs are real—electrical gremlins and suspension wear are common in this generation. If you're considering one, insist on a specialist pre-purchase inspection focusing on transmission health, air suspension condition, and any history of electrical faults before committing.

What to check before buying a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 30.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
