Our Verdict
This 2017 Range Rover Sport offers strong off-road capability and luxury, but its mixed MOT history and high mileage for its age require careful scrutiny before purchase.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection focusing on brake systems, given repeated warnings about thin pads in 2022-2023. Check for a comprehensive service history to confirm timely maintenance of the 2.995L petrol engine. Negotiate based on the 2022 MOT failure and tyre wear records. Verify the registration plate compliance to avoid repeat issues. Look for evidence of suspension or differential servicing, common maintenance points for this model.
The 2.995L petrol engine likely achieves 20-25 mpg combined, placing it in a higher tax band (£155-£190 annually for 2026). Insurance groups for luxury SUVs typically range from 35-50, contributing to high premiums. Routine maintenance (brake pads, tyres) could cost £300-£500 every 2-3 years. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Inspect brake pads and rotors for excessive wear, particularly on the front axle. Check all tyres for uneven tread wear or damage, as previous MOTs noted edge wear. Verify the registration plate meets current specifications to avoid legal issues. Examine underbody components for corrosion or leaks, common in older SUVs. Test 4x4 systems and suspension for proper function, as these are critical to the Range Rover Sport's design.
The vehicle has a clean recent MOT history with no defects in 2024-2025, but older records show brake pad wear and tyre issues. At 56,198 miles (2025), its mileage is below average for a 9-year-old vehicle, though the 2.995L petrol engine may impact running costs. No aggregate reliability data exists for this model, but past MOT failures suggest routine maintenance needs.
No aggregate MOT data available for this model, but owners of 2017 Range Rover Sports should expect higher maintenance demands compared to smaller SUVs due to complex 4x4 systems and premium components.
