2008 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · 35 HEW

The 2008 Range Rover presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 44,140 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 December 2024 at 43,345 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisory or failure entries. The upkeep pattern is steady rather than deteriorating. Recorded mileage sits at 44,140 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,452 miles per year. The DVSA log shows 41,445 miles on 15 December 2022, rising to 42,423 on 13 December 2023, then 43,339 on 3 December 2024 before the 43,345 pass a day later. Annual accumulation stays under 1,000 miles throughout, with no rapid build-up or unexplained gaps. The single failure on 3 December 2024 at 43,339 miles carries no listed defect, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner cleared it within twenty-four hours. Low mileage and a clean MOT trail imply light use, possibly with long stationary periods. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for degradation from inactivity, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubbers and binding brakes unseen in a pass result. Structural integrity around chassis outriggers and subframe mounts warrants a physical check for corrosion given the model's age. The absence of advisories across five years means no recurring wear trend exists in the official data. Verify service history and confirm the 2024 failure cause in person, but the record itself shows no ongoing mechanical risk requiring correction before purchase.
