Known issues by generation
The L494 Range Rover Sport SVR has a few notable issues, particularly with its supercharged 5.0L V8 engine. Common concerns include the timing-chain tensioners and guides, which may require replacement at high mileage to prevent costly engine failure. Additionally, the supercharger's nose-cone bearing can wear, leading to potential performance degradation.

Ensuring a thorough service history documenting these preventive maintenance efforts is critical for preserving value.
