The years to approach most carefully

2013 Land Rover Range Rover

Most risk

A 2013 car is first year of the generation, so it carries the launch teething faults and most of the recall activity. At roughly 176k miles, 4 of the 6 documented faults are usually already due.

2014 Land Rover Range Rover

Most risk

A 2014 car is an early build, while launch issues were still being worked through. At roughly 162k miles, 4 of the 6 documented faults are usually already due.

The best years to buy

2021 Land Rover Range Rover

Safer buy

A 2021 car is the final year of the generation, usually the best-built cars in the run. At roughly 68k miles, 3 of the 6 documented faults are usually already due.

2020 Land Rover Range Rover

Check carefully

A 2020 car is a late-run build, generally the most sorted part of the generation. At roughly 81k miles, 4 of the 6 documented faults are usually already due.
