This 2016 Range Rover Sport diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 56%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for reliability. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, but the consistently weak pass rate suggests these vehicles develop issues that require remedial work before they can be approved.

At a median mileage of 72,704 miles for an eight-year-old model, these cars are running at a typical pace, yet they're still accumulating an average of 0.3 failures per test—minor but persistent problems rather than catastrophic ones. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the cooling system, exhaust aftertreatment, and suspension components, which are common failure points on this generation of SDV6.
