2008 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · CU08 LDA

The 2008 Range Rover presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 116,305 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since at least June 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT scope during this period. Mileage progression shows consistent light use for a vehicle of this age. The record moves from 97,629 miles at the 1 June 2021 test to 102,841 miles in May 2022, 107,511 in May 2023, 111,800 in May 2024, and 116,305 in May 2025. That equates to roughly 4,500 to 5,000 miles added each year, below the 6,461 annual average for its age. The clean test history with no gaps suggests the previous keeper maintained regular testing discipline and avoided prolonged periods without statutory inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's eighteen-year age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to corrosion at chassis outriggers and subframe mounts. The MOT record shows no structural or mechanical defects, but a pass with zero advisories on an older 4x4 does not confirm absence of underlying wear hidden from the test bay. Prior to purchase, verify the condition of drivetrain components including transfer box and air suspension compressors, as these fail on high-mileage Range Rovers outside MOT criteria. The absent advisory history implies competent upkeep, yet the low annual mileage may mask moisture-related degradation from standing. A pre-sale examination beneath the vehicle remains prudent.
