This 2022 Range Rover Sport First Edition diesel hybrid is slightly below the UK average at 79.1% first-time pass rate—essentially on par with the national benchmark—and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.8% of the cohort. The low failure rate of 0.07 per vehicle signals good baseline reliability.
