Moderate sample. 302 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2010 Range Rover diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 38.7%, less than half the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for reliability. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 0.3%, so safety isn't the primary concern—this is about general wear and repair costs.

At around 105,000 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle, mileage is typical for age, but these cars average 0.59 failures per test, suggesting ongoing mechanical issues that compound over time. If you're considering one, budget for regular maintenance and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the engine and transmission, as this model struggles to stay roadworthy through MOT.

The 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sp Hse Tdv6 A passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (80.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
