Our Verdict
This 2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport offers premium SUV status but requires careful inspection due to a single MOT failure and high mileage for its age.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection focusing on the 2.7L diesel engine, suspension, and electronics. Verify service history to confirm maintenance consistency. Negotiate based on the single MOT failure and high mileage. Be wary of potential corrosion given the 2007 date and UK climate. Check for any outstanding recalls or manufacturer service campaigns.
Diesel fuel economy is likely poor, with typical 15-20 mpg combined. Tax would be £315 annually (2007 model, CO2 229g/km). Insurance group 25-30 is expected for a luxury SUV. Major maintenance costs could exceed £1,000 for items like turbochargers or differential repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust system for clogging. Check for suspension bushing wear and steering alignment issues common in older Range Rovers. Examine underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails. Test all four-wheel-drive systems and review service records for oil change frequency. Verify that the 2023 MOT failure was resolved satisfactorily.
The vehicle has a mostly clean MOT history with no defects recorded in most tests, though a 2023 failure without details raises questions. At 83,126 miles (19 years old), the mileage is above average for its age, and the 2.7L diesel engine requires scrutiny for wear. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the 2007 Range Rover Sport model to assess broader reliability trends.
