Our Verdict
A surprisingly clean example of a 2012 R
When purchasing a high-mileage diesel of this era, verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items not captured by MOT tests. Ensure you check for any evidence of oil leaks around the engine and verify that all interior electronic functions are operational. Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and the inevitable need for preventative maintenance given the 129,000+ mileage.
The 2993cc diesel engine provides significant towing and hauling capability but carries higher fuel and tax costs than smaller variants. Insurance groups for the Range Rover Sport are typically high, and maintenance for air suspension components can be costly when they eventually fail.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel consumption and the road tax band associated with a 3.0L diesel engine from 2012. Expect higher-than-average tyre replacement costs due to the vehicle's weight and wheel size.
Focus your inspection on the suspension system, specifically the suspension arms and anti-roll bars, which are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, these components often wear gradually and may be nearing the end of their lifespan at this mileage.
Check the tyre tread and condition across all four wheels, as tyres are another frequent cause of MOT failure for this model. Finally, inspect the brake discs and pads for wear, as the weight of the vehicle puts significant pressure on the braking system.
This blue 2.9L diesel Range Rover Sport has recorded 129,736 miles since its first registration in March 2012. The MOT history from 2021 to 2025 is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and no defects recorded in any of those tests. It represents a high-mileage example of the model that has avoided the common MOT failures seen across the wider fleet of over 136,000 analysed vehicles.
The model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.6%, with suspension arms and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
