Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this 2.9L diesel model, focus on verifying the full service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals. Check for any evidence of recent brake work, as the 2024 MOT highlighted worn, pitted, or scored rear brake discs. Given the high specification of this vehicle, ensure all electronic systems and the infotainment are functioning correctly during the test drive.
Running costs for this 3.0-litre diesel engine will be significant, encompassing high insurance groups and fuel costs typical of a large luxury SUV. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it meets modern emission standards, which is beneficial for avoiding certain urban charge penalties in UK cities.
Typical maintenance costs for this model can be high, particularly for consumables like tyres and brake components. Buyers should budget for higher-than-average annual servicing costs compared to standard passenger cars.
Inspect the braking system carefully, specifically the rear discs, to confirm if the pitting and scoring noted in October 2024 was addressed. While this specific vehicle has a clean pass record, aggregate data for the Range Rover Sport shows that brake pads and pipes are common failure points.
Additionally, check the suspension arms for any signs of wear or play. According to model-wide data, suspension arms are one of the top reasons for MOT failures in this vehicle range, making them a critical point of inspection regardless of the current MOT status.
This 2020 diesel Range Rover Sport has recorded four MOT tests with a 100% pass rate. With 49,468 miles recorded at its last test in November 2025, the vehicle's usage is consistent with the model's average annual mileage of 7,523. The history is relatively clean, with only one minor advisory regarding brake discs noted in 2024.
The Range Rover Sport has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with suspension arms and braking components being the most frequent points of failure.
