Rover Range Rover MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Rover Range Rovers in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Rover Range Rover engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 1,429 Rover Range Rovers licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 72.4% have an engine of 3,501cc to 3,600cc, and 9.1% have an engine of 2,401cc to 2,500cc. The share with an engine of 3,501cc to 3,600cc has grown from 65.5% in 2014 to 72.4%. Petrols made up 64.2% of those licensed in 2014 and 71.7% in 2025.

Rover Range Rover safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Rover Range Rover in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Rover Range Rover. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
