2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · FL58 CPO

The vehicle currently holds no valid MOT pass, having failed the most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 159,658 miles with no defects formally recorded. The maintenance trend is difficult to judge from the record alone, as the three failures logged in 2023, 2024, and 2025 each show zero recorded defects, yet the vehicle only passed on the third attempt in November 2024 at 150,747 miles. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than a clear mechanical deterioration, but the lack of a current roadworthy certificate means the buyer cannot legally use the car on public roads until it is retested and passed. Recorded mileage rose from 141,880 in November 2023 to 150,745 by November 2024, then to 159,658 by November 2025, equating to roughly 8,800 miles per year across the period. That aligns with the approximate 8,870 annual average for an 18-year-old vehicle and shows no sudden accumulation or extended dormancy. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects listed on any pass or fail entry, so the record gives little insight into wear on consumables or structural components beyond the odometer figures. Given the blank defect fields, a buyer should not assume the Range Rover is free of faults. The tester logged no advisories on the 2024 pass at 150,747 miles, yet the same vehicle failed two days earlier at 150,745 miles with nothing recorded, implying either a documentation omission or a minor non-mechanical rejection. In person, the buyer should commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, front and rear coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and chassis corrosion, as these are common failure points on the 2008 Range Rover Sport at this mileage. The absence of recorded emissions or structural notes across five tests does not confirm good upkeep. Previous owners may have addressed issues off-record between tests, or the MOT stations may have omitted advisories. Before purchase, verify the 2025 failure cause through the DVSA database and insist on a full pre-sale mechanical assessment given the expired test status.
