Land Rover Rangerover Spt Tdv6 Hse A (2006)
2006 Land Rover Rangerover Spt Tdv6 Hse A
CarHunch analysed 346 real MOT records for the 2006 Land Rover Rangerover Spt Tdv6 Hse A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Range Rover's 25.6% first-time pass rate is drastically below the UK average of 80%, signalling serious reliability trouble—three-quarters of these vehicles fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so failures are mechanical rather than safety-critical, but the sheer frequency of them is a major red flag for any buyer.
These vehicles average 141,000 miles, which is reasonable for their age, yet they're still racking up 0.64 failures per test—suggesting wear and maintenance issues rather than just high mileage. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist, because the MOT data indicates you're looking at a vehicle that will need consistent repairs and likely won't pass without remedial work.
What to check before buying a 2006 Land Rover Rangerover Spt Tdv6 Hse 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.
