2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · FH08 UOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and component wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 151,531 miles passed, the tester flagged corroded suspension components and deteriorated front and rear brake pipes. The presence of grease and engine covers obscuring these areas suggests an attempt to mask underlying rust or simply a lack of cleanliness that hinders a thorough visual assessment of the chassis's integrity. At 151,531 miles, the Range Rover has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year over its eighteen-year life, which is consistent with typical regional usage. There is a notable gap in records between March 2021 and March 2022, where the vehicle covered over 5,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent failure in March 2022 at 138,120 miles due to worn tyres and suspension bushes indicates that after a period of use, the vehicle underwent reactive maintenance, addressing only the items necessary to pass the immediate failures. A buyer must conduct a rigorous inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the corrosion mentioned on the fuel tank cover and suspension arms. The recurring issue of worn suspension arm pins and bushes across the 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life. Furthermore, the report of thin brake pads and pitted, scored discs in late 2025 indicates the braking system is due for significant attention, alongside the corroded hydraulic lines which pose a risk of fluid leaks if not replaced.
