Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This vehic
Priority should be given to a professional inspection of the chassis and sills. The vehicle has previously failed for structural strength reduction in the inner sills (January 2024) and suspension mounting areas (February 2026); you must verify the quality and extent of any repairs carried out to address these. Negotiate the price based on the likely need for ongoing corrosion treatment and the high mileage of the 2.7L diesel engine.
Request comprehensive service records to see if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical for this engine. Given the recurring suspension arm and bush issues seen in the MOT history, check for recent invoices proving these components have been replaced rather than just patched to pass the test.
Running costs for this 2.7L diesel will be substantial. Expect high annual road tax due to the engine size and age, combined with a high insurance group typical for the Range Rover Sport model. Fuel economy will be modest given the vehicle's weight and high mileage.
Maintenance costs are likely to be elevated. The MOT history indicates a recurring need for suspension work and brake replacements, and the documented corrosion suggests that preventative rust treatment will be an ongoing expense. Estimated annual costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance are high.
Focus your inspection on the underbody. Specifically, check the central rear sub-frame and the fuel tank securing pan, both of which were flagged as corroded in March 2026. Inspect the sills and seat belt anchorage areas, as these have previously failed for significant structural strength reduction.
Test the parking brake thoroughly, as it failed in February 2026 for efficiency below 50%. Additionally, listen for knocks or clunks from the front and rear suspension, as suspension arm pins and bushes have been a persistent issue for this specific vehicle across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 test cycles.
This 2007 black Range Rover Sport has covered 178,646 miles, which is above the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of structural corrosion affecting the sills, rear vehicle structure, and rear sub-frame. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026, the record shows repeated failures and advisories regarding suspension components and braking efficiency.
Aggregate data for this model shows a pass rate of 84.6%, with suspension arms and brake components being the most frequent causes of failure.
