Moderate sample. 329 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2014 Range Rover Sport has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 47.2%, which is well below the UK average of 80% and signals genuine reliability concerns for buyers. The good news is there are no dangerous defects recorded across the 329 vehicles analysed, but the high failure rate suggests these are mechanically demanding vehicles that frequently need repairs between tests.

At around 88,000 miles, these cars are showing typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 0.52 failures per vehicle—more than double what you'd see in a more robust model. If you're considering one, factor in ongoing maintenance costs and have a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist familiar with Range Rover transmissions, suspension, and diesel engines, as these are the areas driving the MOT failures.

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (83.9%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
