2018 Land Rover R Rover Sport Hse Dyn Sdv6 A
CarHunch analysed 125 real MOT records for the 2018 Land Rover R Rover Sport Hse Dyn Sdv6 A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 Range Rover Sport SDV6 fails its MOT first time in 63.8% of cases—significantly below the UK average of 80%—which suggests these diesel engines are prone to issues that need sorting before they pass. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so the problems are fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 61,000 miles median, these vehicles show reasonable mileage for their age, and the fact that failures average just 0.12 per vehicle indicates most issues are minor when they do occur. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel fuel system and emissions kit, as that's where the repeat failures are clustering.
What to check before buying a 2018 Land Rover R Rover Sport Hse Dyn Sdv6 A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
