2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · WU08 CTF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of structural degradation and mechanical wear. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 147,022 miles passed, it flagged several recurring issues that have remained unresolved for multiple years. The trend is stable in terms of passing, but the underlying condition of the chassis and suspension components appears to be declining, suggesting that the owner is performing only the minimum repairs required to pass the MOT test rather than addressing long-term preventative maintenance. At 147,022 miles, this Range Rover Sport has averaged approximately 8,168 miles per year over its eighteen-year lifespan, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,000 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long, which often contributes to the progression of corrosion noted across the chassis. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the inner sills and underbody due to documented structural corrosion. The 2025 failure specifically identified the offside rear inner sill with significantly reduced structural rigidity, and although this was rectified to pass, the 2026 test still noted corrosion on both nearside and offside sections. The power steering pipes and anti-roll bar bushes have been flagged for wear across four consecutive years, indicating these components are nearing the end of their functional life. The braking system and fluid leaks also require close attention. The rear brake discs have been noted as pitted or scored since 2025, and a non-excessive oil leak identified in 2026 should be monitored to ensure it does not escalate. Furthermore, the repeated failure to inspect the rear seatbelts due to the seats being folded down is a safety oversight that must be addressed to ensure all restraint systems are fully functional.
