Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to a recurring patt
Prioritise a thorough check of the braking system. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with worn and pitted brake discs and thin pads across three consecutive years, suggesting these components are under significant stress or are replaced only when failure is imminent. Verify that the repairs following the September 2025 failure were carried out to a professional standard.
Request full service records to confirm that the 2993cc diesel engine has been serviced at the correct intervals. Given the age of the vehicle, check for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine variant that are not captured in MOT data.
Running costs for this 3.0L diesel will be high. You should expect significant annual expenditure on fuel and a high insurance group typical for a luxury SUV of this size. Tax will be based on the 2013 CO2 emissions for this engine size, which is generally expensive.
Maintenance costs are likely to be the largest variable. With a model-wide tendency for suspension arm and brake pipe failures, and this specific vehicle's history of brake wear, you should budget for premium parts and specialised labour. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to be substantial.
Carefully inspect the front and rear brake discs and pads. The vehicle has a history of 'worn, pitted or scored' discs and pads 'wearing thin' (recorded in 2023, 2024, and 2025), so ensure the current components are not nearing the end of their life again. Check the fuel tank guard, which was recorded as being in poor condition in September 2025, to ensure it has been properly replaced or repaired.
Additionally, inspect the suspension arms and brake pipes. While these have not caused failures for this specific vehicle, they are among the top failure reasons for this model across 136,540 analysed vehicles. Look for perished rubber bushings or signs of corrosion on the brake lines.
This red 2013 Range Rover Sport has recorded 75,317 miles, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a consistent trend of brake wear, with failures and advisories appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in September 2025 after failing on brake discs and a fuel tank guard.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with common failure points including suspension arms and brake pipes.
