In short: the Land Rover Range Rover Sport has no especially costly known faults and its most common engine usually lasts about 300k km. The RSA doesn't list it separately at the NCT: Land Rover Range Rovers as a whole pass the NCT less often than other cars the same year (74% vs 80%).

Our take on the Land Rover Range Rover Sport

A 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport typically advertises at €80,000 and a 2018 one at €34,900, so it loses roughly 15% of its value a year at that age, faster than most cars. Most for sale are hybrids (70%); diesels are 30%. At the NCT (figures for all Land Rover Range Rovers, as the RSA doesn't list the Range Rover Sport separately), the 2011–2014 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 2.0 hybrid is the most common engine (45% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 300k km.

Common Land Rover Range Rover Sport problems

Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.

Timing belt history · €350–€700

Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.

Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500

Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.

"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.

Before you buy a used Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Run a history check on the reg (write-off, finance owing, mileage), ask when the timing belt was done and for receipts, and start it from cold yourself. The used car checklist takes you through a viewing step by step.
