This 2015 Range Rover Sport SDV6 is a concerning prospect—just 53.9% pass first time, well below the UK average of 80%, which means you're looking at a model that struggles significantly with MOT compliance. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, but the sheer failure rate suggests chronic reliability issues beyond safety-critical items.

At 83,340 miles median, these vehicles are mid-life for their age, yet they're averaging 0.39 failures per test, indicating structural or mechanical problems that recur across the fleet. If you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist familiar with this generation's common faults—the SDV6 engine and transmission carry a reputation for expensive repairs that these MOT numbers confirm.
