Our Verdict
Caution is advised due to a recent MOT failure with no recorded defects, though the vehicle has a clean recent MOT history. Consider further inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection to investigate the unexplained 2025 MOT failure. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as Land Rovers often require diligent care. Negotiate based on the high mileage and potential hidden issues. Check for rust or suspension wear common in older SUVs. Be wary of 'clean' MOT records that may mask underlying problems.
Diesel fuel economy averages 30-35 mpg, with £1,500-£2,000 annual fuel costs at 10,000 miles. Road tax is £140 annually (vanity plate DSZ3228 may affect this). Insurance groups for large SUVs typically range £1,200-£1,800 yearly. Maintenance costs can exceed £500 annually due to complex systems, with £1,000-£1,500 estimated for major services.
Focus on the 2025 MOT failure - request the exact reason from the garage. Inspect suspension components, exhaust system, and ECU for fault codes. Check for oil leaks around the turbocharger, a known issue in SDV6 engines. Verify bodywork for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and under the vehicle. Confirm all service intervals were met using the service book.
This 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ABIO DYNAM SDV6 A has accumulated 143,514 miles, exceeding average mileage for its age. While the most recent MOT (2025-06-28) passed, a prior failure in 2025-05-30 without defects raises concerns. No aggregate reliability data exists for this specific model variant.
No statistical reliability data exists for this specific model variant, but Land Rover SUVs generally require higher maintenance compared to mainstream brands.
