Land Rover Range Rover Sport (2020)
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
CarHunch analysed 7,014 real MOT records for the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Range Rover Sport passes its MOT at 84.4%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, with diesel versions performing strongest at 86.9%—though petrol and hybrid variants are only slightly weaker at 82.1% and 81.6% respectively. Dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 9.5%, so this isn't a safety concern for most buyers.
These vehicles are averaging just 37,000 miles at test time, which is typical for their age and suggests owners aren't pushing them hard. Most will need minor attention rather than major work, with an average of 0.32 failures and 2.0 advisories per test—expect routine items like wear indicators and trim issues rather than structural problems. Before buying, request the full MOT history to check whether failures cluster around specific systems; if you're choosing between fuel types, the diesel engines show the most reliable track record.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 4.8 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
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.
