Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this 4.4L diesel Range Rover Sport, your primary focus should be the suspension system. The MOT history specifically notes split and perished rubber bushes on both front lower control arms in 2022, and play in an upper ball joint in 2021. Ensure you check for any knocking or uneven tyre wear which could indicate these issues have recurred.
Secondly, pay close attention to the braking system. The most recent MOT in September 2025 flagged wearing brake pads. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for a full brake service or replacement. Given the high engine displacement, ensure the service history (if available) shows regular oil changes to protect the large diesel engine.
Running this large-capacity 4367cc diesel engine will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a heavy, high-performance SUV, and be prepared for a higher insurance group due to the vehicle's power and repair costs.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be higher than average, particularly regarding suspension components and braking systems, which are recurring themes in its MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are expected to be substantial.
You must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension. The records show a history of worn suspension arm pins, perished bushes, and ball joint play. Look for any signs of fluid leaks from dampers or excessive movement in the control arms.
Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads. The 2025 MOT advisory for thin brake pads means you should verify the remaining life of the pads and the condition of the discs to avoid immediate post-purchase costs. Check the tyres as well, as 'tyre' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
This 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, finished in Grey, has covered 82,303 miles since its first registration in October 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension-related advisories and failures, alongside a recent advisory for thinning brake pads. With an average annual mileage for this model being approximately 7,559, this specific vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 84.6% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and anti-roll bars being frequent failure points.

- SDV6 Crankshaft FailureSerious
Identical risk to the Discovery 4 and L405, leading to a required engine replacement.
- Air Suspension Bag LeaksSerious
Rubber air bags perish and crack causing the car to sag. Compressors overwork trying to compensate and eventually fail.
- Water Ingress via Boot and Door SealsModerate
Seal failures around the boot and doors allow water to enter, damaging the audio amplifier, boot electronics, and causing electrical gremlins.
