Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. While the mileage is impressively low for a 2007 model, the MOT history reveals a pattern of neglect and recurring suspension and tyre failures.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection by a Land Rover specialist. The history shows a recurring issue with direction indicators and several 'Dangerous' tyre failures (including a bulge in 2021 and a tear in 2026), which may suggest poor tyre maintenance or alignment issues. Ensure you see evidence of regular oil changes for the 4.2L engine, as these are costly to repair if neglected.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new front brake pads and a thorough check of the cooling system, following the 'water leak' failure in March 2026. Check the service history specifically for suspension work, as the vehicle has previously failed on both front lower suspension arm ball joints and rear stub axles.
Running costs for this vehicle will be very high. The 4197cc petrol engine is thirsty, and you should expect low MPG, especially in urban environments. Insurance will be significant due to the vehicle's value and engine size, and the road tax will be in one of the highest brackets due to CO2 emissions.
Maintenance is the primary concern; Land Rover parts for this era are expensive. Between fuel, high-bracket tax, insurance, and the likely need for frequent suspension and brake repairs, the annual cost is substantial.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for bulges or sidewall tears, as the MOT history shows 'Dangerous' failures on both the rear (2021) and front (2026) tyres. Check the front brake pads, which were noted as 'wearing thin' in the most recent March 2026 test.
Test all exterior lighting, specifically the offside front and rear indicators, which have caused multiple MOT failures between 2022 and 2024. Finally, have a mechanic check the suspension components, specifically the lower suspension arm ball joints and rear stub axles, which were flagged as major failures in previous years.
This black 2007 Range Rover with a 4.2L petrol engine has covered 95,158 miles, which is well below average for its age. However, the MOT history is concerning, showing frequent failures for basic lighting and more serious 'Dangerous' tyre issues. Recent records indicate a water leak and worn brake pads, suggesting a lack of proactive maintenance.
This era of Range Rover is known for high maintenance requirements, particularly regarding air suspension and electrical components.
