2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A
CarHunch analysed 274 real MOT records for the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Range Rover Sport HSE diesel is a concern on first MOT pass: at 62% it's 18 points below the UK average, meaning nearly two in five come through with failures on their test. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so while reliability issues exist, they're not safety-critical ones.
At roughly 77,000 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle, these cars are running at typical mileage, yet they're averaging 0.53 failures per car—indicating that wear and age-related issues are catching up. If you're considering this model, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the common failure items (likely suspension, emissions, and brakes on a diesel this age), and budget for repairs before or soon after purchase.
What to check before buying a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
