2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6L Diesel · YY07 LFR

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent inspection in November 2025, this followed a significant failure just one week prior involving multiple critical safety defects. The history reveals a persistent issue with braking system integrity, specifically corroded brake pipes that have appeared across multiple years. The presence of grease on corroded pipes is a red flag, suggesting attempts to mask or inhibit corrosion rather than replacing the failing components. At 133,747 miles, the Range Rover has covered an average of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with its nineteen-year age. However, the maintenance data shows a notable gap in consistent testing between 2018 and 2020, followed by a period of more frequent inspections and failures. The recent failures involving tyres worn to the legal limit, a deep cut in a rear tyre, and thin brake pads indicate that consumable items are only being addressed once they_( the point of legal failure. A prospective buyer must exercise extreme caution regarding the structural integrity and suspension components. The most recent report notes corrosion on the rear vehicle structure, and while rigidity is currently maintained, this is a areas condition on a vehicle of this era. Furthermore, the history shows repeated issues with anti-roll bar bushes, suspension ball joints, and wheel bearings. The previous report of fluid leaks from the transferbox and gearbox in 2022 also necessitates a thorough inspection to ensure these high-cost components have not.
