2022 Land Rover R Rover A-Bio Dyn A — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2022 Land Rover R Rover A-Bio Dyn A passed 92.1% of its 252 recorded MOT tests. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (8.1% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, lighting & signalling and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (5.6%) and lighting & signalling (4.4%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, registration plates and wipers — headlamp aim alone was recorded 10 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 17.5% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 R Rover A-Bio Dyn A
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 5.6% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (5.6% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (4.4% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Visibility (1.6% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
