Our Verdict
This 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport w
When inspecting this Range Rover Sport, examine the paperwork closely to confirm that the front brake discs noted during the June 2024 test were replaced, and ask for documentation regarding the resolution of the Engine MIL warning. Given the complex electronics and high-capacity 4.4-litre diesel powertrain, checking for any hidden electrical faults or fluid leaks is essential during a thorough test drive.
Negotiation should hinge on the completeness of the vehicle's independent service history, as MOT certificates only confirm roadworthiness at the time of test. Ensure all vehicle systems, air suspension settings, and dashboard displays operate without hesitation, and verify that no warning lights have reappeared since the 2025 test.
Running a large 4.367L diesel luxury SUV incurs substantial overheads. Fuel economy will vary depending on driving conditions, but expect significant outlays at the pump, alongside a high Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) band typical of vehicles of this engine size and age.
Insurance will sit in one of the highest groups, reflecting the vehicle's high performance and luxury status. Maintenance costs for a Range Rover Sport can be steep if components require specialist attention, so factoring in an annual buffer for servicing and upkeep is vital. Estimated annual running costs are around £2,500-£3,200 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Pay close attention to the braking system, noting the history of pitted and scored front brake discs recorded in June 2024, and check that the discs and pads have plenty of life remaining. Inspect the dashboard for any recurring engine management lights, keeping in mind the Engine MIL failure recorded in 2024.
Given the model's aggregate data, thoroughly inspect the suspension arms, anti-roll bars, and tyres, which are common failure points across the wider Range Rover Sport range. Additionally, test all electrical functions, climate control zones, and the operation of the air suspension system across all height settings.
First registered in March 2016, this black Land Rover Range Rover Sport has covered 60,205 miles as of its October 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT history shows a failure in June 2024 due to an inoperative Engine MIL and worn front brake discs, followed by consecutive clean passes later in 2024 and October 2025. With a mileage profile sitting below the model average for its age, it presents an interesting option for buyers seeking a large diesel luxury SUV.
The Range Rover Sport model achieves an average MOT pass rate of 84.3%, with suspension components and tyres standing out as the most frequent failure points.
