2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · LR57 CKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 128,303 miles passed, it flagged an oil leak and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure in late 2024 where multiple mechanical and lighting defects were identified, suggesting that faults are only addressed once they fail an inspection. At 128,303 miles, this Range Rover has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year. While this annual mileage is relatively low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, the data shows periods of concentrated use. For instance, the car covered nearly 7,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024. The low overall mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components and environmental corrosion, which is consistent with the way structural issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and suspension assembly. The history shows persistent corrosion on the rear suspension sub-frame and chassis rails, which were noted as surface corrosion in 2023 and progressed to a corroded sub-frame by 2024. Furthermore, the front lower suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2023 and became excessively worn by the 2024 test. The steering rack gaiter was also noted as deteriorated in 2023, which represents a significant risk for future steering component failure. The braking system also requires scrutiny as both front and rear discs were described as pitted and scored in 2024. Given the recurring oil leaks mentioned in both 2023 and 2025, a mechanic should verify that no oil is contaminating the braking system or leaking from the-related seals. Additionally, the presence of frayed seat belts and loose side steps indicates that minor exterior and interior trim maintenance has been consistently neglected by previous owners.
