Much worse: failed on that area at least 1.5 times as often. Worse: 1.15 to 1.5 times. Better: up to 0.87 times. Much better: two-thirds as often or less. Gaps under half a percentage point count as about the same. Registration year is the year the car was first used.
Well behind: 5 or more points below cars of the same age and mileage. Behind: 1.5 to 5 points below. Level: within 1.5 points. Ahead: 1.5 or more points above.
1.5% of Range Rover MOTs failed on seat belts and supplementary restraint systems, against 1.1% for cars of the same age and mileage, and 2.9% on body and structure, against 3.8%.
Up to 30,000 miles, Range Rovers pass as often as cars of the same age and mileage. Ahead from there: 30–60,000 miles 5.8 points, 60–90,000 miles 11.4 points, 90–120,000 miles 14.7 points, 120,000+ miles 13.8 points.
Diesels passed 79.8% first time, 11.3 points above comparable cars; petrols passed 81.1%, 10.2 points above comparable cars. Diesels had a median of 90,852 miles at the test, against 70,870 for petrols. Hybrids are mostly newer cars (median 41,966 miles), so compare them with care.

Data. Every car MOT in Great Britain in 2025 (31,475,521 first tests on cars first used 2005 to 2022), from DVSA's anonymised MOT test data. Retests are left out.
Passed first time. A car passed if its first test that year ended in a pass. Cars that failed and were fixed within the hour count as fails, as DVSA counts them.
Same age and mileage. We group every car by the year it was first used and its mileage (under 30k, 30–60k, 60–90k, 90–120k, over 120k). The comparison figure is what those groups scored, weighted to match the Range Rover's mix of ages and mileages.
Model. Every car DVSA records as a Range Rover: 69 recorded model names, from "RANGE ROVER" to trims such as "R ROVER WSTMNSTR BLCK D MHEV A".
