Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the recorded failure regarding suspension arm pins and bushes, you should check for any lingering noises or vibrations when driving over uneven surfaces. This is a known area of wear for heavy SUVs like this Range Rover. Ensure you request a detailed service history to see how often the suspension and steering components have been addressed.
As a 3.6L diesel, this vehicle sits in a high tax and insurance bracket. Fuel economy will be relatively low compared to modern diesel engines, and maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and complexity can be substantial, particularly regarding the air suspension and heavy-duty components. Expect higher-than-average annual costs for parts and specialist labour.
Specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the 2021 MOT failure highlighted excessively worn arm pins and bushes. You should also check the condition of all exterior lighting, following the recorded damage to the nearside rear lamp. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the engine's performance and any potential leaks is essential.
This 2008 Land Rover Range Rover, finished in black, has covered 137,154 miles as of its last recorded MOT in December 2021. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,916 miles per year, suggesting heavy usage. The MOT history includes a failure for worn suspension arm pins/bushes and a damaged lamp, which are common points of interest for this vehicle type.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms being one of the most frequent reasons for failure.
