2008 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · FE08 HRR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a stable trend of progressive wear on suspension components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 158,834 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a nearside front outer tyre worn near the legal limit. While the vehicle has passed its annual inspections, the recurring nature of suspension-related advisories suggests that the chassis components are reaching the end of their effective service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 21,394 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 10,700 miles annually during that period. This regular use likely prevents the vehicle from the specific issues associated with long periods of standing, yet it explains the gradual degradation of rubber bushes and metal components noted in the mid-life-age records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry, as the record flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2024 and 2025. The 2022 advisory regarding general corrosion to the underside, steering, and suspension components remains a critical concern for a Range Rover of this era. You should check for significant structural rust on the subframes and the mounting points for the active suspension system. Additionally, the distorted nearside rear wheel noted in 2022 should be verified to ensure it was replaced and does not cause vibration at higher speeds.
