Our Verdict
This 2006 Range Rover Sport presents significant risks due to high mileage and a recent braking system failure. While the vehicle has mostly clean MOT records, the 2024 brake hose leak and 153,585 miles suggest potential long-term reliability concerns.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the braking system, particularly the offside rear brake hose replaced in 2024. Check service records for regular maintenance, as diesel engines require strict upkeep. Negotiate heavily given the high mileage and potential repair costs. Be wary of hidden corrosion issues common in older Land Rovers, especially around the underbody and wheel arches.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.7L engine is likely poor, with typical urban consumption around 25-30 mpg. Road tax would be £220 annually (2023/24 rate for diesel cars over 15 years old). Insurance groups for this model typically fall in the mid-20s, leading to annual premiums of £1,000-£1,500. Major maintenance costs could exceed £1,000 for items like turbochargers or differential repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £2,500-£3,500.
Inspect the brake system for leaks or corrosion, particularly the flexi pipe replaced in 2024. Check for rust in the wheel arches, sills, and underbody - common issues in older Land Rovers. Test the suspension and steering for unusual noises, as high mileage can wear these components. Verify that the 2022 tyre wear issue was properly addressed with new tyres. Check the engine oil for contamination, which could indicate internal wear.
The 2006 Range Rover Sport has a mixed MOT history with a critical brake hose failure in 2024 and a tyre wear issue in 2022. At 153,585 miles, the mileage is well above average for a 20-year-old vehicle, raising concerns about mechanical wear. No aggregate reliability data exists for this model, but the vehicle's age and usage history warrant caution.
No aggregate reliability data available for this specific model, but diesel Range Rover Sport models from this era are known for high maintenance costs and susceptibility to corrosion.
