Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the very hig
At over 200,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, which cannot be verified through MOT records alone. Look for evidence of regular oil changes and component replacements, particularly for the diesel engine and drivetrain. Negotiate based on the high mileage and the potential for upcoming major maintenance requirements common to vehicles of this age.
Check the steering system carefully, as the 2023 MOT recorded play in the steering rack inner joints. Ensure that any previous repairs to the steering or suspension were carried out professionally. You should also inspect the tyres and suspension components, as the 2023 record noted inner edge wear on the nearside rear tyre, which can indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Running costs for this 2.7L diesel Range Rover Sport are expected to be high. The large engine size and heavy chassis will result in significant fuel consumption, especially in urban environments. You should also account for higher-than-average insurance groups and potential tax costs associated with a 2006 diesel vehicle.
Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial. Given the model's aggregate data, you should budget for frequent inspections of suspension arms, brake pipes, and brake pads. With mileage exceeding 200,000, components like the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and air suspension (if fitted) may require attention.
Specifically inspect the steering rack and associated joints; the 2023 MOT history explicitly identified play in the steering rack inner joints. It is also vital to check the suspension geometry and tyre wear patterns, referencing the nearside rear inner edge wear noted in the 2023 test.
In addition to the vehicle's specific history, be mindful of the common failure points identified in the wider model data, which include suspension arms and brake pipes. Given the high mileage, a professional inspection of the diesel engine's health and the integrity of the braking system is essential before committing to a purchase.
This 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has covered 201,126 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The recent history shows two consecutive years with no recorded defects, following a 2023 test that noted steering rack play and tyre wear. Given the significant mileage, any purchase should be approached with a focus on mechanical longevity rather than cosmetic condition.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving suspension arms, brake pipes, and brake pads.
