This 2009 Range Rover Sport HSE TDV6 is a significantly unreliable proposition by MOT standards, with a first-time pass rate of just 31.8%—less than two-fifths of the 80% UK average—meaning most examples fail their test and require repairs before they can be legally driven. The absence of dangerous defects is the only bright spot in an otherwise troubling picture.
At around 116,000 miles these vehicles are showing their age hard: nearly half fail on their first MOT attempt, averaging 0.48 failures per car with issues serious enough to prevent road use. If you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate pre-purchase inspection and repairs, particularly around the diesel engine and ancillary systems, because passing one of these through MOT is the exception rather than the rule.
