2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · BG 6706

The P400e is officially rated at around 30 mpg combined with a charged battery, but real-world figures drop significantly to roughly 25-28 mpg when the battery is depleted. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle with CO2 emissions of around 64 g/km (when charged), annual VED sits in the lower tax band, though from year six onwards this changes — confirm the current rate with DVLA for this exact registration. Insurance is likely to be in group 50 or higher for this model, so expect premiums in the £1,200-£2,000+ range depending on the driver. Servicing and parts at Land Rover dealers are expensive, with major services often exceeding £600; budget at least £800-£1,200 annually for routine maintenance, plus a contingency for hybrid-specific repairs.

Inspect the high-voltage battery state of health using a Land Rover-compatible diagnostic tool, as PHEV batteries are costly to replace (often £4,000-£8,000). On test, check that the vehicle drives on electric power alone when charged and that the transition to petrol mode is smooth. Although the MOT record does not flag suspension or brake issues (the model's most common failures), physically inspect the front suspension arms and brake pipes for corrosion, particularly as the vehicle is approaching seven years old. The 2023 advisory noted a nail in the offside front tyre, so check the wheel and tyre condition for any signs of damage or uneven wear. Finally, verify that the charging cable is present, that the port functions correctly, and that no warning lights appear on the hybrid system display.
