About the 2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED

The 2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED is a large car with a 2995cc petrol engine. 330 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a less common model in the UK market. Among all cars from 2016, the average MOT pass rate is 85%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.

With an average of 61,587 miles at 10 years old, LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED owners drive about as much as the UK average.

2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED Fuel Costs

The 2995cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED?

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,427 202/month), broken down as £1592 fuel, £430 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 84% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED Reliability Trend

Newer LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIEDs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 11 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED

At 10 years old, the LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2021 model has the highest pass rate at 99%.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2016 LAND ROVER UNCLASSIFIED's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Timing Chain / Belt

Watch out

At 10 years old, check whether the timing belt has been replaced (typically due every 5-7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles). A snapped belt can destroy the engine.

Oil Consumption

Medium risk

Larger petrol engines can develop higher oil consumption as they age. Check the oil level and look for blue smoke from the exhaust.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
