Is a Range Rover Sport a good used buy?

I want to buy a used Range Rover Sport as a retirement present to myself. Would you advise paying more for a 2019/20 model and accepting the ongoing depreciation or buy a 2017 model for less and accept the likely higher costs of repairs, etc.

We wouldn't recommend any used Range Rover Sport without the support of a solid aftermarket warranty. If you're happy to go down this route, the difference between a 2017 and 2019/2020 model will probably be negligible. Rather than concentrating too much on age, look for one with a solid service history and clear evidence of good maintenance.

Bigger and more economical than the old model. Great to drive on-road but with typical Land Rover off road ability. Fantastic traction and ability in the worst conditions.
