2008 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · BP57 BXZ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile showing a worsening trend of mechanical degradation in its later years. While it passed its last recorded test in October 2022 at 137,155 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure on the same day involving multiple critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2018 to a list of failures suggests reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Given that no MOT data has been recorded for nearly four years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unknown and likely falls below acceptable modern safety standards. The mileage pattern remains relatively consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the testing history between December 2019 at 134,773 miles and October 2022 at 137,155 miles, during which the vehicle covered only about 2,400 miles. This low annual usage over that period suggests the car sat stationary frequently, which often leads to the deterioration of rubber components and the onset of the corrosion-related issues seen in the 2022 report. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the entire suspension and braking systems. The 2022 record flagged worn bushes on the inner and lower suspension arms and the rear sub-frame, which indicates systemic wear across the chassis mounting. More critically, the presence of corrosion on all four inner brake pipes represents a significant risk of fluid loss if not professionally replaced. The severely deteriorated CV boot on the offside front drive shaft also necessitates a check for grease leakage and joint play, as these components can lead to expensive drivetrain failure if ignored.
