Our Verdict
A consistent example of a Range Rover Sp
Focus your attention on the chassis and consumables. The 2025 MOT noted a severely deteriorated dust cover on the offside front lower suspension arm; you should verify if this has been replaced, as suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model. Additionally, check the service history for evidence of brake pad replacement, as the front pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2023.
Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres and suspension. Given the 2024 advisories regarding tyre wear and cuts, ensure a fresh set of premium tyres has been fitted to maintain safety and performance for a vehicle of this weight and power.
The 2993cc diesel engine is designed for towing and long-distance cruising, but it will incur higher fuel and tax costs than smaller SUVs. Insurance will be relatively high due to the vehicle's value and performance profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can be significant, particularly regarding the air suspension and braking systems. Expect an annual budget that accounts for the higher cost of parts and specialised labour required for Land Rover vehicles.
Prioritise an inspection of the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, referencing the 2025 MOT advisory regarding the deteriorated dust cover. This is a known weak point for this model according to aggregate data. Check for any play or knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.
Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage, as the 2024 MOT specifically flagged the nearside front tyre for wear and the offside rear for a cut. Finally, check the thickness of the front brake pads to ensure the 2023 advisory has been addressed.
This 2018 black diesel Range Rover Sport has covered 65,060 miles, which aligns closely with the model average. It has passed all four recorded MOT tests since 2022, though recent tests have flagged issues with suspension components and tyre wear.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with suspension arms, tyres, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
