How ULEZ rules apply to the Range Rover Sport
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (85% of Range Rover Sports tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (10% of Range Rover Sports tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Hybrid (petrol) (4% of Range Rover Sports tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Range Rover Sports from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (16% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Land Rover can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Land Rover Range Rover Sport for London: what the MOT data shows
The Land Rover Range Rover Sports in this data were first registered between 2005 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 11,878 tests (10% of the total), and half were registered in 2015 or later.
Range Rover Sports from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 85% of the time, at an average of 51,038 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 73% of the time with 112,622 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Range Rover Sports likely to comply are from 2016. 10,288 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 82% of the time and averaged 64,395 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Range Rover Sports likely to comply are from 2006. 1,131 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 66% of the time and averaged 135,779 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Range Rover Sport's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (2.4% of tests); brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (2.1%); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (2.0%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 13.4% of tests.
Overall, 80% of Range Rover Sports passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 79,122 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
