This 2022 Range Rover Sport diesel hybrid is slightly below the UK average, with a 78.2% first-time pass rate compared to the national 80%, though the dangerous defect rate of 2.2% is reassuringly low and well below concern thresholds. The real story is consistency—these vehicles are averaging just 0.08 failures per test and 0.4 advisories, suggesting mechanical reliability is genuinely solid once they clear their initial teething problems.

At 27,324 miles average for a two-year-old car, mileage sits right where you'd expect it, and the modest advisory rate tells you preventative maintenance is handling the hybrid system and complex electronics well. Before buying one, get a specialist pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel particulate filter and hybrid battery diagnostics, as these are the components most likely to need attention as these vehicles age.
