2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · D5 KMH

The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport exhibits a stable maintenance record, with three consecutive MOT tests from 2022 to 2024 all resulting in a pass at 145,323, 152,228, and 157,222 miles respectively. No defects were recorded in these assessments, indicating consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. However, the most recent test in March 2024 predates the current date by over two years, suggesting the vehicle has not been re-evaluated for compliance since that time. This gap may warrant closer scrutiny of components prone to degradation over extended periods without inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 7,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 18-year age and typical usage patterns. No significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes are evident in the data, which implies consistent operation rather than prolonged inactivity. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history suggests the owner prioritized basic maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common failure points in this model. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody components should also be checked, as older vehicles often develop leaks or rust in these areas. While the MOT records confirm no immediate hazards, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate verification of structural integrity and brake system functionality, including caliper binding and disc wear, to ensure long-term reliability.
