MOT pass rate · 2025 data
Land Rover Range MOT pass rate

How the Land Rover Range holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Land Rover Range grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 43,467 | 89.5% |
| 6–10 years | 200,924 | 86.15% |
| 11 years and over | 143,266 | 78.24% |
The Land Rover Range loses 11.3 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket — a normal pattern for a car of this age, but still worth checking the individual history.
Why the Land Rover Range fails its MOT
Across every Land Rover Range that failed its 2025 MOT, the most common area of failure was brakes, accounting for 21.42% of all recorded failure items. These are the areas worth having checked before you buy, and worth budgeting for on an older example.

|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 21.42% | 30,034 |
| Suspension | 20.04% | 28,104 |

What this means when buying a used Land Rover Range
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Land Rover Range came to its 2025 test at 80,373 miles and 10 years old. Most examples tested were diesel.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
