Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Land Rover Rr Sport Hse Dyn Blck D MHEV A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Land Rover Rr Sport Hse Dyn Blck D MHEV A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This 2021 Range Rover Sport diesel is a solid performer, with an 86.9% first-time pass rate that sits 6.9 points above the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests good build quality and reliability from the factory. The dangerous defect rate of 7.5% is low enough not to be a concern, meaning serious safety issues are relatively rare among this cohort.

The median mileage of 35,833 miles is exactly what you'd expect for a three-year-old vehicle, and the average 0.27 failures per test plus 1.2 advisories per vehicle indicate these are lightly-stressed cars with minor maintenance needs rather than structural problems. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid system and any previous advisory history, since the mileage and pass rates suggest this model rewards proper servicing.

The 2021 Land Rover Rr Sport Hse Dyn Blck D MHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.1% 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.

🔍 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 768 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.
