2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · A2 MYM

The 2008 Range Rover Sport presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 December 2025 at 25,214 miles with zero defects recorded. This flawless MOT record across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and free of critical faults. The absence of any advisories or failures suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard where no wear items or structural concerns triggered a tester's attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 1,400 miles annually. Between the November 2022 test at 20,275 miles and the November 2023 test at 21,653 miles, the vehicle covered 1,378 miles. Usage remained similarly subdued through 2024, climbing just 1,247 miles to 22,900. However, the most recent year saw a notable uptick, accumulating 2,314 miles between November 2024 and December 2025. This pattern reflects prolonged periods of short-trip or stationary use, which can be detrimental to diesel particulate filters and cause moisture-related corrosion in brake discs and exhaust components despite the low overall distance covered. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific failure points common to the L320 platform, particularly given the low-mileage, stop-start usage pattern. Examine the chassis and inner wing seams for corrosion, as standing vehicles often suffer from structural rust that a brief MOT inspection might miss. Check the air suspension compressor and air springs for leaks or slow overnight sinking, and inspect the condition of suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, which can perish from age rather than mileage. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion and binding, a typical issue when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods.
