Used buyer's guide: Range Rover Sport

4x4s don’t come much more luxurious than the Range Rover Sport – but there are some issues to look out for

How much?

The cheapest Sports are £15,000; this buys an early car with a mega-mileage, although at least you’ll be getting a 2.7 TDV6 diesel. Petrols start at the same price point, but you can still expect a 100,000-miler.

A 3.6 V8 diesel is yours from £19,000, although the 3.0 TDV6 is a better all-rounder; prices for this start at £33,000, with most at least £35,000. The most costly Range Rover Sports still change hands for £70,000, while it’s easy to pay even more for a car modified by Kahn, Overfinch or Revere.

Running costs

All Range Rover Sports have to be serviced every 15,000 miles or 12 months, with six-cylinder diesels costing £380-£930 (the latter at seven years) to maintain. V8 diesels cost £470-£620 (the latter at six years) to service, while V8 petrols are £375-£605 (the latter at seven years).

Diesels need a fresh cambelt every 105,000 miles or seven years (at £500), but the petrols are chain-driven. Fresh brake fluid is needed every three years (£40) and new coolant every 10 years (£100). However, there are numerous drive belts, filters and fluids that must also be replaced – as frequently as every other service.
