2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7L Diesel · CE56 CXB

Owning a 2006 2.7L diesel Range Rover Sport involves significant overheads. Fuel economy will be relatively low due to the vehicle's weight and age, and it will fall into a higher CO2 tax bracket. Insurance groups for this model are typically high, reflecting its luxury status and repair costs.

Maintenance costs are expected to be substantial. With suspension arms and anti-roll bars being top failure reasons across the model range, owners should budget for frequent underside repairs. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to be high.

Carefully inspect the rear body structure for the corrosion flagged in the 2022 and 2023 MOT tests. Check the rear suspension arm bushings specifically, as these were noted as worn in both 2021 and 2022; this is a known weak point, as suspension arms are a top failure reason across the 136,298 vehicles analysed for this model.

Check the condition of the headlamp lenses, which were recorded as slightly defective in 2021. Finally, perform a full test drive to check for any knocks or instability from the rear suspension that may have progressed since the last recorded advisory.
