2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · AV58 AAX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 May 2026 at 130,841 miles following a failure on the same day. The failure was triggered by three tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear. While these issues were rectified for the pass, the tester flagged several advisories that remain present, including an offside front brake hose with corrosion at the ferrule and thinning rear brake pads. This indicates that while the immediate safety failures were addressed, the braking system and tyre components are reaching the end of their operational life and require close monitoring. At 18 years old, the recorded 130,841 miles represent an average usage of approximately 7,269 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual figures for this age. The record shows a consistent pattern of mechanical degradation over the last two years. In April 2025 test, the vehicle was flagged for a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and a leak in the rear active anti-roll bar. The presence of oil leaks noted in the engine in 2024 and the transfer box in 2025 suggests ongoing wear-related issues with seals and gaskets across the drivetrain. The mechanical history reveals a recurring trend of suspension and braking component wear. The offside front brake hose has appeared as an advisory consistently since April 2024, showing that corrosion has not progressed to a failure but the part has not been replaced. Similarly, the worn suspension bush and the leaking active anti-roll bar point to potential high maintenance costs related to the Land Rover chassis components. A buyer should verify the extent of the oil leaks and the condition of the suspension bushings, as these issues represent persistent mechanical concerns in the vehicle's documented history.
