2022 Land Rover Range Rover — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover passed 92.0% of its 5,343 recorded MOT tests. That is effectively the same as large SUVs of a similar age (8.7% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
One area stands out: tyres, recorded in 4.9% of tests against 1.6% for the next-worst category.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, registration plates and brake pads — wipers alone was recorded 97 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 6.2% in the 0-30k band and 11.9% in the 60-90k band, a 5.7-point spread.
The diesel cars hold up better: 7.6% fail against 9.2% for hybrid, a 1.6-point gap across 3,686 tests.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 18.5% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 2,475 | 7.6% |
| Petrol | 1,657 | 7.7% |
| Hybrid | 1,211 | 9.2% |
Trend over time

What to check before buying a 2022 Range Rover
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 4.9% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (4.9% 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.
- 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.
- Brakes (1.5% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
