Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A (2018)
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Hse Sdv6 A
CarHunch analysed 160 real MOT records for the 2018 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 2018 Range Rover Sport SDV6 has a first-time pass rate of 66%, which is 14 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these vehicles demand closer attention at MOT time. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't the issue; instead, expect routine maintenance and smaller faults to crop up.
These cars are running around 60,000 miles on average, which is sensible for their age, and advisories are virtually non-existent (0.0 per vehicle), meaning dealers aren't flagging emerging problems. The low failure count (0.12 per vehicle) indicates most failures are easy fixes rather than serious wear, but the weak pass rate points to an ownership pattern where preventative servicing is being skipped—so budget for catching up on scheduled maintenance and fluid changes before your test.
What to check before buying a 2018 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.
