2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · P5 NYX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on January 5, 2024 at 117,014 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components met minimum standards at that time. This represents an improvement over the previous years in 2021 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owner addressed necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back into a compliant state. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between October 2021 and January 2024, the car covered roughly 6,500 miles, showing a steady and low-intensity usage profile. The gap between the October 2021 test and the December 2022 test shows only 578 miles driven over fourteen months, which indicates a period of minimal use. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based components but can increase the risk of fluid degradation or corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and structural integrity, as these are common failure points for the Range Rover Sport of this era. While the recent records do not list specific advisories, the failures in 2021 and 2022 suggest the vehicle has required reactive maintenance to pass testing standards. Inspect the subframes for structural corrosion and check the air suspension components for leaks or perished rubber bellows. Given the age and low mileage, verifying the condition of the brake lines and bushings is essential to ensure no hidden perishability has occurred.
