2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · R8 TBF

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT test on 2025-05-01 due to issues with the offside front headlamp aim and an oil leak from the transmission. These failures indicate a worsening trend in maintenance compared to the previous pass on the same day, suggesting ongoing neglect or unresolved issues. The vehicle's mileage of 193,114 miles over approximately 18 years translates to around 10,729 miles annually, which is within a typical range for its age. However, the significant gap between the 2024-02-29 test at 186,282 miles and the 2025-03-06 test at 192,952 miles, covering nearly 7,000 miles in less than a year, could indicate increased usage or potential issues leading to rapid wear. The subsequent tests in May 2025 at the same mileage suggest no further significant travel, implying the vehicle may have been stationary or minimally driven since then. Buyers should inspect the suspension, particularly the nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush, which has shown wear. Additionally, the offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot requires attention, as it has been flagged as both split/insecure and severely deteriorated. The headlamp alignment issues and the spare tyre defect should also be addressed. Furthermore, the recurring problems with tyre wear and cuts suggest that regular tyre maintenance has been neglected, which could lead to further damage or failure. Structural rust and exhaust emissions should be checked, as these components were not specifically mentioned in the MOT but are critical for long-term reliability.
