Land Rover Discovery Sport buying guide (Ireland, 2026)

What a used Land Rover Discovery Sport costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 217 for sale right now.

Our take on the Land Rover Discovery Sport

A 2023 Land Rover Discovery Sport typically advertises at €38,000 and a 2018 one at €18,500, so it loses roughly 13% of its value a year at that age. At the NCT, the 2017–2019 cars fail more often than other cars the same year, so a fresh NCT is worth paying a little more for. The 2.0 diesel is the most common engine (59% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 320k km.
