2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · FE07 AAK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from significant mechanical wear to more isolated component issues. The most recent test in January 2025 at 111,627 miles identified an offside rear service brake binding, which follows a period of three clean tests between 2021 and 2023. This suggests that while previous recurring faults were addressed, the vehicle is now experiencing the age-related degradation typical of an older Range Rover Sport. At 111,627 miles over 19 years, the vehicle averages a low annual mileage of approximately 5,875 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 5,000 to 8,000 miles recorded between tests. However, there is a notable gap in data between 2018 and 2020 where the vehicle covered only 5,300 miles. This low usage frequency often correlates with accelerated corrosion of rubber-based components and fluid degradation, which is evident in the historical issues noted in the record. A buyer must prioritize the suspension and geometry, as the record shows a persistent history of worn arm bushes and pins dating back to 2013. The 2016 advisory specifically flagged hard inner wear on all four tyres and tracking issues, indicating chronic alignment problems or failing suspension geometry that may not have been fully rectified. Additionally, the braking system requires close scrutiny; the history shows corroded brake pipes and hoses noted in 2016 and 2020, leading to the binding caliper noted in 2025. Physical inspection should also focus on the integrity of the rear differential, where an oil leak was documented in 2014. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous reports of corrosion on brake pipes and hoses, a tester should check for structural rust on the chassis and along the brake lines. While the vehicle has passed its recent tests, the recurring nature of the suspension and braking faults suggests a vehicle that requires proactive maintenance to prevent escalating mechanical failures.
