Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Auto?

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.

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.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Auto?

The 2021 Range Rover Sport HSE is slightly more reliable than the UK average, passing its first MOT 84.2% of the time compared to the national 80% baseline. Only 5% of vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests no systemic safety concerns.

At under 30,000 miles on the odometer, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the low failure rate of just 0.19 per vehicle. The 1.3 advisories per car on average are fairly minor—typical wear-and-tear items—so if you're considering one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on the suspension and brake components that commonly appear in advisory lists for this model.
