2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · LC08 SFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in reactive repair habits. While it passed its most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 119,951 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures involving mechanical play, structural tyre damage, and electrical issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 119,951 miles, the Range Rover Sport averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. However, the low mileage does not insulate the vehicle from age-related degradation of components, as evidenced by the recurring failure of suspension bushes and rubber components which are likely reaching the end of their functional life despite the relatively low distance traveled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and wheel assemblies, as the nearside suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2024 and the offside front wheel bearing exhibited excessive play in the 2025 failure. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the most recent test. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres, as the history shows multiple structural failures and cuts reaching the cords, indicating either poor quality parts selection or harsh driving conditions.
