Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a relatively stable example of a 2008 Range Rover Sport. While the recent MOT history is clean, the high mileage and the model's known mechanical complexities require a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
When viewing this specific vehicle, your primary focus should be on the service history, which cannot be confirmed through MOT records alone. Given the 2.7L petrol engine, ensure there is documentation regarding oil changes and cooling system maintenance.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 115,000 miles, several major components may be nearing the end of their service life. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work on the suspension or braking systems, as these are common areas of concern for this model.
Running this 2720cc petrol engine will involve significant costs. Expect higher fuel consumption compared to diesel variants, and the tax band for a 2008 Range Rover Sport is typically high.
Insurance groups for this model are generally elevated due to repair costs. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher than an average hatchback, particularly for tyres and suspension components which are frequent failure points for this model type.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you must pay close attention to the suspension system. Specifically, check the suspension arms and anti-roll bars for excessive play or wear, as these are top MOT failure reasons for the Range Rover Sport.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres and the braking system. While this specific vehicle (VO08LRZ) showed no defects in its 2022 and 2023 MOTs, the model's statistical trends suggest these are the most likely areas for upcoming failures.
This 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, finished in black with a 2.7L petrol engine, has covered 115,868 miles as of its last recorded MOT in January 2023. The vehicle has passed its two most recent MOT tests without recorded defects, which is notable given the model's aggregate data shows an 84.7% pass rate. However, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,560 miles per year.
The aggregate data for this model indicates an 84.7% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms, tyres, and anti-roll bars being the most common reasons for failure.
