2008 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · DSZ 2093

The most recent MOT (21 June 2023) passed with no defects recorded, but the test is now three years old, meaning the vehicle’s legal roadworthiness has lapsed. The maintenance trend is stable; the only irregularity is a one‑day failure on 20 June 2023 at 195 351 miles, followed by a pass the next day at 195 356 miles, both with no recorded faults, indicating no systematic issues were noted at that time. Mileage accumulation over the four‑year span from August 2021 (185 542 miles) to June 2023 (195 356 miles) totals roughly 9 800 miles, averaging about 10 800 miles per year, which is typical for an 18‑year‑old Range Rover. The interval between tests remained around ten months, so there are no large mileage gaps. The final two entries show a minimal increase of five miles between the failed and passed tests, suggesting the vehicle was stationary for a short period before re‑testing. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, and assess the exhaust and under‑body for rust, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Tyre tread depth and condition are critical after 195 000 miles, as is the condition of steering rack bushings. A visual check of the chassis for structural integrity and a review of service records will help gauge whether the stable MOT history reflects genuine upkeep or simply a lack of recent scrutiny.
