2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · N16 KDB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 126,418 miles. This result follows a period of consecutive passes without recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in recent years. While a failure was noted in March 2023 at 110,983 miles, the immediate re-test success on the same day suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle legal. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between April 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,102 miles, while the interval between March 2025 and April 2026 saw another 5,785 miles. This steady accumulation suggests a regular usage pattern, which is generally preferable for complex components like air suspension and seals to prevent the seizing and rubber degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean records over the last three tests, a physical inspection must focus on the inherent mechanical weaknesses of the Range Rover Sport from this era. A buyer should specifically examine the air suspension system for signs of sagging or compressor fatigue, as MOT tests do not capture slow pressure leaks until they fail. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the rear sub arches and lower wisharms is essential, as these areas are prone to structural integrity issues that may bypass a standard MOT inspection.
