First thing to address is plastic coolant pipes, water pump and tstat. Then, the supercharger likely needs a service. While not nearly as common on 2014+, these 5 liters may still need timing chain work. Also, front control arm bushings if they haven’t been done. This is an expensive car to run, make no mistake. However, they can be made reliable and are a blast. I love my 2021 SVR.

We had a 2010 Land Rover sport with over 100k miles, for a little over 2 years. We took it in for a recall and we didn’t get the car back for about four months, and all that had to be done was the camera replaced. They were so packed full of cars because everyone has their LRs being worked on because of awful reliability. Other than that, we had no issues with the car. Pretty nice for being 10 years old at the time too

Older cars are of much more interest to me as I do not believe any everyday car is worth $60,000+.

I "almost" bought a 2017 Land Rover Discovery HSE V6 Supercharged. 86,000 miles on it. Watched KZbin and have heard nothing good about Land Rovers. How does a car that was going around $65,000 new value now at $20,000? And it's been sitting at the lot since last year. 3 previous owners. Something doesn't seem right. BTW: The Land Rover Range Rover Reliability Rating is 2.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 15th out of 19 for luxury fullsize SUVs.

Range Rovers basically do everything and anything, and that’s the issue. So very simply put: * they are sophisticated off-road machines. Perhaps not the little ones like the Velar, but the proper Range Rover? An incredibly capable machine. * they are super luxurious. Massaging seats, electric everything, touchscreens everywhere, blah blah blah. * when their size is taken into consideration, they drive very well. Effectively, what your doing with a Range Rover is combining a Jeep with a Jaguar. Your combining all the potential problems that come with an off roader with all the potential problems that come with a luxury performance car. What do you think is going to happen? Despite their reputation for rugged simplicity, even the most renowned Jeeps are known for their breakdowns and as a brand are comparable to Land Rover in terms of reliability surveys. Given that Land Rovers tend to have a lot more that could potentially go wrong with them then your average Jeep, it’s actually quite impressive that they manage to toe the line. Diffs break, electric equipment needs to be updated, things get stiff due to underuse (which most Landies and Jeeps tend to be) or things break because they’re abused (which can happen, admittedly). Then you’ve got the other side. A big fire breathing 500 horsepower 5.0L V8 engine is going to have a lot more potential issues then a 160 horsepower 1.2L 4 cylinder engine. Plus you’ve got all the luxury equipment. So in reality, my view is its a wonder that Range Rovers don’t break down more often. They are the car that is designed to do literally anything. You want to do some proper off-roading? With the adjustable ride height, terrain sensing systems, sonar, and all the rest of it, you’re ready to rock and roll. You want to cruise down a motorway in limousine comfort? The Range Rover has you. Are you a farmer who’s wife wants a machine drive her comfortably and safely up the road? Well a Volvo may work perfectly, but a Range Rover will do it more perfectly. And that’s the thing - most cars fill a niche or two in the market. For example, the Toyota 4Runner fills the two niches of being a large SUV, and relatively safe school run vehicle. The Ferrari F8 fills the niche of being a status symbol. A Jaguar XJ fills the niche of being a four door grand tourer, able to smash across continents with style and grace. A Range Rover fills basically every single one of those niches and then some. I met a gentleman a year or two ago, running a late model L322 for his tire delivery service. With 400,000 kms on it, he said “yup, there’s electrical gremlins, but the engine and gearbox are solid, and she keeps on working for me.” That’s why they sell. They kind of do whatever you want, whenever want. If you prefer a video game analogy, some cars max out certain stats such as speed and power, while others max out practicality and space, at the expense of other categories. The Range Rover unfairly stacks the deck, and generously pads out every stat. Naturally, they aren’t the fastest. They are not the most luxurious. They are not the best to drive. They are not the most reliable. But as far as overall and all rounders go, the Range Rover is the best car you can imagine - assuming you can keep up with maintenance. And if you can’t? Well then don’t buy one. Simple as that. We have Volvo Station Wagons and Toyota Corollas for that very purpose.
