2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · RV57 KXC

The vehicle presents a marginal roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend that suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 134,023 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for position lamps and worn rear tyres. This pattern indicates the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to secure an MOT certificate. The recurring nature of rubber component failure and wear across multiple years shows that parts are allowed to reach the end of their functional life before replacement. At 134,023 miles, the Range Rover Sport has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,162 miles covered between September 2024 and September 2025. This consistent accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, but the age of the vehicle places significant stress on the degradation of materials regardless of the mileage. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front end and drivetrain system, as the history shows persistent deteriorated CV boots and worn suspension arm bushes. The 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, which, combined with the suspension issues, suggest the mechanical assembly is aging. The buyer should also specifically check for the engine and transmission oil leaks noted in 2023, as these often escalate on older Land Rover engines if not monitored. Given the history of perished tyres and cracked rubber, the condition of all secondary rubber components under the chassis should be scrutinized to ensure no further structural failure is imminent.
