Range Rover Sport Hst Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 989 MOT tests, the Range Rover Sport Hst Auto returns 87.3% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a seriously damaged tyre. A defective wiper blade and wipers that don't clear the screen round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 30,722, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
