USED Range Rover (L405) review. What doesn't go wrong...

It seems these days that Range Rover has become as well known for its questionable reliability as it has for its incredible luxury and off-road capability. But is that really the case? We do a deep dive on the Range Rover to see whether it's still worthy of your cash, or whether you should steer very clear.

I love how "What goes wrong" is literally half the video bahahaha.

Having owned five different JLR vehicles over the past 10 years I can only speak of my experience. Always bought certified used from the dealer and have not had a single unexpected problem from any of them. Brakes, tires, and oil changes. Toss in a brake fluid flush every now and then and a battery after three years. I drive 12k-15k miles per year. I see many comments about Toyota reliability yet in the news right now we have a major engine recall and now possibly faulty transmissions on 2024 Tacoma trucks. My point is that EVERY manufacturer goes through problems but the proof is whether they fix it and make it better. I am about to buy a 2019 Range Rover from a close friend that bought it new. It is his second one and again, no major problems AND he drives his off-road in the Southwest going hiking and back-country skiing. Sorry to say but I am a fan of JLR products as it has never let me down.

Writing from California: Discovered this channel few weeks ago and am loving it. I drive a 2011 Maybach 57s and this channel would be the ONLY one I would trust to review my vehicle. I am watching the channel's previous videos from 2-3 years ago and the quality of the presentation then is as impressive as it is now. Take care gentlemen 🙏

I bought an L405 new in October 2020 and I have had absolutely no problems with it at all since then. It's a magnificent car - no complaints from me.

10 minutes and 59 seconds of "what goes wrong" session... Bloody hell

I own a 2015 V8 Supercharged 510 hp in USA. SWB with autobiography interior. Bought it certified pre-owned when 3 y/o. Phenomenal vehicle. I drive 9-10 k miles per year. 75 k currently. Also bought extended warranty to protect me if I encountered electrical issues (mechanic recommended). Only issue has been a front control arm.
I would buy this all over again. Previous to this I had 2 Lexus LS 460’s. Other than the electronics of the Lexus, the luxury is comparable and doesn’t disappoint.

I owned a 93 land rover discovery and had random electrical issues. Put the window washers on and the blinkers would flash. Hit the horn, the wipers would come on. The best one was putting the power window down shut the engine off. Take finger off the switch and the engine fired up again.
The thing cost me thousands in repairs, and I ended up selling it as a farm only vehicle.
Damn I loved it. Such a good car.

When I bought a D4 Disco ("the reliable one") with the Ford V6 diesel described in this review, I thought "oh well at least the engine is a Ford". Boy, was I in for an expensive surprise.

18 years daily driving my 2006 Range Rover. Love it.

They're great cars if A: You buy them depreciated B: You have a good warranty C: You know how to work on them or D: You have the resources to fix them. I don't think they're bad cars. I know they're not. It is a Land Rover after all. Many people who have no business buying them tend to buy them used and then act surprised when they break. The information is out there.

I am just here to read the comments from owners claiming that their Range Rover has gone a million kilometers without so much as a burnt-out light bulb and the only maintenance or repairs needed have been an occasional oil change or windshield washer fluid top-up plus replacing the wiper blades and brakes!

If you are handy with the spanners & have a lot of patience they are good value. 2015 SDV8 owner. Bought with FSH at 100k km & now knocking on 200k km with no major issues. Service every 10k is a great piece of advice. 👍

Lovely review! I'm currently writing a script for a L494 RRS in-depth review and there's so much to cover. You're doing a wonderful job of summarizing different aspects.

[ErGeFo]

L405 looks better than the new one. With pre-emptive maintenance and changing the oil etc at least twice as often you will increase the reliability substantially.

[papagen]

Jaguar Land Rover's perceived unreliability, Toyota Lexus's perceived reliability -- as an owner of both I can tell you neither is true anymore.. Just get a pre-purchase inspection, get a warranty, and don't worry about it.

My parents own a 2015 Discovery 4 with 3.0L V6 diesel engine, 115, 000 km on it. Our experience has been great so far. It had only a few problems and things needing change (2nd battery, timing belt, spark plugs, gear selector control unit error (a few litres of transmission oil were added and no more problems). No other big or small problems. I drive it often and absolutely love it. I also like the peace of mind when it comes to overcoming any terrain - snow, mud, sand, and others. Though I wouldn't own it as servicing costs are crazy expensive.

Gee the "What Goes Wrong" section for the Ford Everest is so long!

My 2019 supercharged is a tank. I've had zero issues. Absolutely love it

My boss got his diesel 2018 Range Rover Vogue serviced at the stealership. They charged him $4800 . The car only has done 72, 000 km. What a joke .
This was a service nothing was wrong with the car.
