The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1988 Range Rover EFI Auto data comes from the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database, but with an important caveat: the figures reflect a relatively small and self-selected sample of 2,252 vehicles, many of which may be cherished classics rather than typical road-going examples. The first-time pass rate of 64.8% sits notably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these 35-year-old vehicles do need attention before test day—though the low average of 0.15 failures per vehicle indicates problems are usually minor when they do occur.
At a median mileage of around 87,500 miles for a 1988 model, these Range Rovers have genuinely low use, which explains the modest advisory rate of 0.4 per vehicle and the rarity of dangerous defects (1.3%). Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with EFI-era Range Rovers, as age and time off the road matter more than mileage for this generation.
We have 2,252 1988 Rover Range Rover Efi Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
