2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0L Diesel · YS18 LAE

As a 2993cc diesel, this Range Rover Sport will sit in a relatively high insurance group and tax band typical for large luxury SUVs. Fuel economy will be heavily dependent on driving style and load, but buyers should budget for the higher costs associated with large-capacity diesel engines.

Maintenance costs for Land Rover models can be substantial, especially as vehicles approach the 80,000-mile mark. You should anticipate costs for consumables like tyres and brakes, as well as potential repairs to complex electronic or suspension systems. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be significant.

While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model highlights suspension arms, tyres, and headlamps as common failure points. During a physical inspection, closely examine the suspension components for any play or uneven wear, and check that the headlamp alignment and clarity are within standards.

Additionally, with 82,780 miles on the clock, inspect the condition of the tyres and check for any signs of uneven wear which could indicate suspension geometry issues. Given the diesel engine size, listen for any unusual engine noise during a cold start and check for any signs of fluid leaks under the vehicle.
