2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · AP08 ECE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-08-20 at 154,309 miles, with no defects recorded. The prior test on 2024-06-03 at 148,406 miles also passed, but a failure on 2024-05-29 at 148,404 miles—just four days earlier—was recorded without specific defects. This suggests a potential administrative or procedural issue, as the mileage remained unchanged between the failed and passed tests. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 154,309 miles at 18 years old aligns with an average of 8,573 miles annually, indicating typical usage for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2022-02-09 test (138,302 miles) and 2021-02-04 test (130,441 miles), spanning 7,861 miles over 12 months, which may reflect intermittent use or periods of inactivity. Subsequent tests show consistent mileage progression, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance without major mechanical interventions. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and high mileage. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions systems warrant scrutiny, as these are common wear points in older SUVs. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and body mounts, to rule out corrosion or fatigue. While the MOT records show no active defects, the 2024 failure without explanation underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
