Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 324 vehicles, the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.5%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A?

Moderate sample. 324 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Range Rover Autobiography PHEV passes its first MOT only 72.1% of the time, which is notably below the UK average of 80%—a red flag for reliability. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 3.1%, so safety issues aren't a systemic concern, but buyers should expect a higher-than-average chance of needing repairs before the test.

With a median mileage of just over 32,000 miles for a three-year-old vehicle, these cars are running light, yet they're still racking up 0.13 failures and 0.5 advisories per vehicle on average—suggesting specific weak points rather than age-related wear. Have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid powertrain, electrics, and brake systems, as these complex components are likely driving the elevated failure rate.

The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobio PHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
