Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. The combin
Given the 162,296 miles on the clock, a comprehensive mechanical inspection is essential. You should specifically investigate the gap in the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 to understand if the vehicle was off the road or missed tests. Ensure there is a documented service history that justifies the high mileage, as the MOT records alone do not provide evidence of routine maintenance.
Negotiate the price based on the age of the vehicle and the potential for upcoming high-cost repairs common to the 3.6L TDV8 engine and complex air suspension systems. Verify the current status of all electronic components, as these are frequent points of failure in luxury vehicles of this vintage.
Running costs for this 3.6L diesel Range Rover will be substantial. Fuel consumption for a vehicle of this weight and engine size is high, and it falls into a high CO2 tax bracket for its year of registration. Insurance groups for the Vogue TDV8 are typically high, reflecting its original value and repair costs.
Maintenance costs are likely to be significant due to the complexity of the TDV8 powertrain and the wear expected at over 160,000 miles. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated repairs, the annual expenditure will be considerable.
Pay close attention to the air suspension system; check for leaks or uneven ride height, as these are known weak points for this model. While the most recent MOT on 14 June 2025 passed without defects, the vehicle failed its test just two days prior on 12 June 2025; you should ascertain exactly what was repaired to rectify that failure.
Inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, which is a common issue for 2008-era Land Rovers. Check the condition of the brakes and tyres, and listen for any unusual knocks or rattles during a test drive that could indicate suspension component wear consistent with the recorded mileage.
This blue 2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 has recorded 162,296 miles. The MOT history is sparse, with a notable gap between August 2022 and June 2025, and a failure recorded on 12 June 2025 immediately preceding a pass two days later.
No aggregate MOT data is available for this specific model variant to provide a reliability benchmark.
