Moderate sample. 486 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Range Rover Sport SVR shows a solid first-time MOT pass rate of 85.2%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, which suggests these cars are holding up well mechanically during their early years. The dangerous defect rate sits at a low 6.6%, so safety isn't a concern for most owners.

At just over 29,000 miles median mileage for a three-year-old model, these vehicles are running well within typical use, and the minimal failure rate of 0.2 per car backs that up. The 1.3 advisories per vehicle are routine wear items rather than structural problems, but if you're considering one, have any outstanding advisories inspected by a specialist—Range Rovers can be expensive to fix when deferred maintenance adds up.

The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sprt Svr Crbn Ed A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 93.1% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 486 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
