I owned a 2015 Range Rover sport v8 supercharged for about 2 years. Added 16,000 miles to the car, lost 0 money. Basically drove the car for free. Car never had any issues, I called it “the brick wall”. Extremely reliable from my experience. I would also have to agree that it’s the best car ever made and if I could have 1 car for the rest of my life it would be a Range Rover. In fact I’m getting another one in the next few months... The car is the epitome of luxury, sportiness, comfort, reliability and practicality. Highly recommend and agree with a lot of what was said in this video 👍🏽👍🏽
Bought one. It’s great. Got it for 7000$ off 23,000$ usd. 14’ 104k miles. Had to do cv axle, both lower control arms and brakes and rotor set which I installed for 700$ and oil and filters and it’s running like a Top.
Best to buy with LR warranty from dealer. I bought a well specced 67 reg HSE dynamic from a LR dealer with 2 yr warranty a year ago for £40k with a service plan!. They changed the front lower arms, front discs and pads and front tyres at a dealer retail cost of £1500 before sale . Would have cost more privately or elsewhere. Has run superbly, air con needed topping this year. Would recommend LR history as it enhances resale values, and allows the warranty to be extended each year for around £850. By the way, don't skimp on tyres, get the original fit Pirelli Scorpion verde all season for £200 each fitted . The fronts lasted 25k miles and the rears 33k miles, which is excellent.
I currently own a 17 RRS Dynamic with the V8. I've owned it since new and with 104K miles it's still like an absolutely NEW RRS. It's a beast of an SUV and does what it's asked. Love it. I'm actually in the market now for a full size RR with the V8.
great idea but i feel like the evoque and the sport are the most reliable ranges, ours had minimal issues, the 2012 evoque and 2017 RRS V8, since new. ultimate cars and the feeling they give off when driving.
As an MOT tester i can say that the range rover cars are extremely reliable mechanically !. A couple of issues at 100,000 milage you ought to look out for commonly : Rear brake pipes corroded Rear brake hoses corroded Differential leaks Side steps often corroded ( this does not affect MOTs ) The only issue when buying these cars at a high milage is the electronics, most owners do not put in the effort for extra servicing such as replacing the suspension valve block filters etc. These cars are built very solid and my only advice would be for anybody purchasing is to have a good inspection of the cars electronics/suspension heights/braking system
I have a 2013 405 with the V8 5.0 with 104,000 miles. Long service history from new and it lived in Santa Barbra CA its entire life before coming to me. Runs beautifully. If you have service history go for it! They are just WONDERFUL vehicles!
I am on my 1st 2017 Range sport.. I bought for my birthday in Oct 2023 🎉🎉. And I love everything about it. I upgraded from my infiniti Fx 35. She was good to me too. 😊. But it was time for a change. I hope my Range will be good to me as I will be to her .
I have the 2014 with 120,000 miles. In the last 10 years I've changed the compressor, one headlight, and that thing with the gear selector (left me stranded)... but no issues. Looks awesome, drives great, brilliant car.
Agreed. The best driving experience of any SUV, and a road presence like no other. My TD6's get better mileage than my wife's 2024 Toyota Rav4, and cost less to both purchase and maintain. The TD6 engine is most efficient at highway speeds when the turbos are working and the engine is in it's power band at around 1850 RPM. I've seen 7.6 L/100km on long highway trips over 800km average. Incredible. You can drive this thing at 85mph for ten hours, and feel like you just went for a spin to the grocery store. I wish they carried the 2016 styling and interior through 2022, the tactile knobs in the older style are very easy to navigate when driving, compared to the sleek touch screens of the newer models. My first was a 2016 td6 HSE, purchased with 60k miles, sold it at 170k. Second is a 2018 HSE td6, just purchased with 80k on it, for $33cdn, roughly $23,500 usd. The TD6 is the easiest car to maintain; you'll need a 32mm socket and a siphon to change the oil, a torx T15 or 25 to change the fuel filter, and a philips screwdriver to change the air box filter. Cabin air filter is tool free. Tips: -Use JLR spec oil, changing every 4000 miles, with fuel filter and air filter at every second change. **This can be done from the hood in about 20 minutes, including an oil change with a simple siphon pump off amazon. ****6.4 liters Castrol Edge Engine Oil 5W-30 C1 Synthetic is the alternative. -Use FRESH dated DEF, adblue when available. DO NOT PUT OLD(a year in your garage) DEF FLUID IN THE CAR! EVER!!!! -Buy diesel from busy truck stops, where fuel turnover is frequent. No need for "Premium Diesel". -Michelin Pilot 4S for best summer performance tires- silent, incredible mileage(36psi front, 42 rear). They hydroplane a bit in deep ruts over 80mph during storms. -Michelin Primacy for best all season. Incredible tire. -Michelin X-Ice for Canadian winters, Alpine 5 for milder winters on highways, Bridgestone DVM 2 for icy/muddy roads. -Polish the windscreen, treat it with Rain-X, use Bosch premium wipers and use RainX washer fluid diluted 1:1 with distilled water, and you'll think your windscreen is invisible. -Spray the foam bonnet gaskets with silicone, as well as exposed wiring in engine bay. The foam absorbs water, and can freeze and deteriorate in winter after a car wash. -Treat the leather with saddle dressing; it's a high quality leather balm that gives incredible suppleness to the seats, and leaves a residue free satin finish without any slippery feel. -Treat exterior matte plastics with gel style trim dressing after a good scrub, for a deep matte black finish. -Ignition stagger at low speed or in traffic is usually a result of old fuel, old fuel filter. -Change glow plugs & Cam belts at 160,000 miles, and consider a ZF8 transmission flush and fill with new pan, as part of scheduled maintenance. 2016 Issues: -Rear wheel bearings in the 2016 at around 130k miles. 400USD. I always travel with the car loaded up with 400lbs of gear etc, I expected this. -Ground fault, showed up as electrical issue and put vehicle into limp mode. Just needed a ground wire added to the main loom in the engine bay, and some new weather wrap on exposed wiring, engine bay passenger side, front fender harness. $150usd. -INCORRECT DEF warning. Took it to rover, flushed the system, changed injector, refreshed DEF, reset ECM. $600usd. -Nothing else, car was as good as the day I bought it when sold. Comparisons & Maintenance: 2018 Toyota 4runner, 140K miles: CV Boots($600), Transfer Case ECM ($3200), front steering links($750), Radio short($800), Tailgate rust ($400 repaint), seat bolster collapse($360), and gas mileage was half of the TD6 on premium gas (94), at about 16L/100km. Nice roomy car, good off road performance, challenging to drive in winter highway conditions, frequent brake pad & rotor changes. Seats are small, controls are great but dated interior, good paint, good weather sealing, loud on the highway with wind and road noise. 2019 Ford Explorer, 100K miles: Transfer case($2200), Transmission($3800), ECM($450), CV Joints($700). Drives ok, interior like an old Chrysler. Sits a little too low to stand under tailgate when loading. Mediocre comfort & driver experience. Always felt like like a grocery getter with a bit of lipstick.
Cars can go 300k miles plus if maintained properly, Engine oil every 5k - 10k miles, Diffrential oil change 20k - 30k miles, Gear box oil change 10k miles & your alternator at 50k mikes along with the timing belts & bearings.
My 2014 HSE Dynamic 2nd owner. I bought at 42k miles. Now at 95k Spend apart from servicing has been 2lower arms. Additional - 2 gearbox oil changes. 45 and 80k.
getting one for my mom, we had a 10 year old Lr series 2 discovery in 2011 and it was amazing! the one im getting her is a single owner, followed the exact maintenance schedule, car had 100k mile maintenance and is listed for 3k under value. no brainer.
I'm a British national living in Russia, I always wondered how come some many cars in Russia have milages well beyond 200k miles and don't miss a beat. People tend to change the engine oil every 5k miles orevery 250 engine hours.
I think the biggest issue that isn't mentioned here is insurance rates for this car are absolutely insane, with many insurance companies apparently outright refusing to insure it, and the ones who will charging 3.5k per year for basic insurance. I think this is one of the main reasons why so many people are selling them. They can't afford the insurance anymore and so they have to sell, flooding the market.
Going back to a RRS after 18 months with an Audi Q8 that spent a total of 2 months in the shop. This will be my fourth RR and never had any problems with the other three. The new one will have the standard five year warranty and in any case, can’t be any worse than the Q8!
I am about to switch from a 2019 (68 plate) bmw x3 to a pre facelift rr sport. This bmw has given me nothing but head aches and problems and i have friends with rr say they have little to no problems and seeing many good reviews. As with any car tho warrenty is important
@@MrPeterthepilot Lol! Literally as im typing this im sat in it and all im seeing is bloody warning lights,brake failiures,engine oil errors,the whole lot. I service my car regularly so i dont know how this has been so unreliabe especially as its a 2019 model and im sending it to the dealership to be repaired. Welp,back to the range sport i go hopefully lol
Bought a Range Rover Tdi V6 Diesel Autobiography Sport Dynamic fully loaded with 7500 miles 6 years old 2 months ago, I am delighted with the car, the Range Rover dealer wanted to charge £1500 to service the car, it had been garage parked for 2 years and had missed a service. It is going into a very good garage for service (one who services Ferrari's). PS the car was bought at auction through a dealer friend.
I bought a 2015 Range Rover sport. Looked exactly like this one. It was my dream car that turned into my nightmare car. Did not have high miles. It did have a ton of issues. It was In the shop more then it was on the road. Do not buy one, they are pretty, but it’s like Lipstick on a pig.
I had a 2014 sdv6 for 7 months when the crank snapped. It had 34,000 miles and full history. I paid £34,000 and sold it for £20,000. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy one. Google crank issues, it's well documented. Wish I searched this before I brought mine.
@@sammyg805 I find it hard to believe they've dropped several thousand pounds in the last few months. This is an SDV6 and buyers paying £30k+ for them not a council estate dweller who bought a V12 Ferrari. Unless they're up to their eyes in debt I doubt they're dumping them en masse because fuels gone up a bit.
@@FROOB202 they've definitely dropped due to the arrival of the newer model. I'm in the market for one for my other half as her HP finishes next month on her current non RRS car so have been following the market for a good few months on 2017 to 2019 year ones with high spec and sub 40k miles. In that time prices are down ~£5k. Also been looking at the discovery which has dropped further. As a Porsche owner I've also seen the same especially with 991 models and GT3's have dropped a good £15k. I'd guess cost of living is playing it's part also 👍
@@coldworld5 yes if you see cheap tyres on a car the person didn't spend the money on the car if you see maybe a top quality brand the car has been maintained regardless of cost
I find it strange you consider 100k miles as “high” mileage. Any well engineered and maintained motor costing £60k +. Should be capable of 200k + miles without difficulty. My VW Passat did 250k and was still going strong.
Unfortunately 100k would be “high mileage” with Range Rover given some of the common issues with them and the cost of those repair. I think that’s why he put “ “.
Very nice and interesting, but my Skoda Octavia is four years old and has 148k on the clock, that’s what I call high mileage 😀 and still goes like a dream.
Great Advice, how about if a 2016 RR has full service records but got accident and has low milage like 40k miles, this is actually the one am considering buying
Look up a few cat s and cat n cars and look at the mileage, always seem low. I'm not saying they are clocked but it does make you wonder if they have been. Good video mate.
In Germany, they sell for as low as 15000 €, and, they have issues with the engine when goes over 140000km the oil pump breaks suddenly, and the engine is destroyed for good, the dealers pretend like they don't know anything about it it's a common fault on 3.0 diesel engine.
Just to add to this my friend has a 2015 RR Sport 70,000miles. Driving along the motorway a few weeks ago, out of nowhere, no previous warning lights, no previous oil light….nothing. The engine management lit up the engine destroyed in the time it took to pull over to the hard shoulder. New engine will cost around £6000. It’s going to RR diagnostics to determine if it’s their fault……..I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I have 2015 3.0 sdv6, I am first owner of the car. In 2021 December, crank snapped on 49.000 miles. Land Rover replaced my engine new one in February 2022. And last week my new engine crank snapped again. Now land rover says second engine must replace to new one :) do not purchase range rover car, you gonna regret if you buy. Design is good, but if you look inside to the design, there is something wrong with engine. Land rover does not know how to make a crank properly. Greetings from Turkey
Congrats ! I started right before Covid when the recession hit.I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during Covid.
I’m convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market…because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
I bought a low mileage (30k miles) 2017 SDV6 and it's been nothing but trouble. Constant issues with the DPF despite regular motorway use. Nobody knows how to fix it. I've spent hours under the hood. Love the way the car drives, but cannot justify how often I'm staring at a check engine light and how much time the car is in limp mode. As for the broken crankshafts, maybe it doesn't affect a ton of owners, but the ones it does affect are out thousands and thousands of pounds. Search range rover broken crankshaft and decide for yourself.
@@Mina_munas Mina, have your mechanic check the solenoid on the charge air intake valve. This is the valve that mixes the turbocharged air from the primary and secondary turbos, as well as from the EGR valve. Mine was sticking and causing a P0234-77 fault code (turbo overboost) and when that fault code is logged, the car WILL NOT regenerate the DPF. That's why the car was suddenly giving me the message to visit dealer for the clogged DPF - the overboost error won't always light a check engine light. I'd like to say that a Land Rover mechanic figured this out, but I figured it out on my own because those guys don't seem to have any clue how to fix their own products.
Shane I had the same issue on my SDV6 and after purchasing an expensive diagnostic tool (GAP) found that the error was a turbo overboost. This is caused by a sticking butterfly valve on the main air intake. It's not overly expensive to repair and this will most probably sort it. Google the issue and the sticking inlet valve is very common.
@@chrismchale1174 I already fixed that but still have the error. I've traced it to the solenoid on the charge air intake valve. Waiting on the part to arrive from Germany.
Thanks for the great vid mate. Would have never considered an RR but they have grown massively on me recently. Plus I’ve seen how cheap you can pick them up and they look fantastic! As you say careful when you buy and fingers crossed 😅
Awesome good advice. I love JLR vehicles but it’s important to know about used cars especially these Comfort in knowing can own a preowned Range Rover👏🏾
I hear and agree with what you say, my only concern is it’s value and saleability in 3 years/35000 extra miles when I want to sell It? What are your thoughts on residual value, say if I buy one with 110k on it now?
People who says these have the BIIG expensive problems are they who buy these with their last money, ant pay cheapest or near cheapest in the market for ones that been neglected and over 150k miles plus.
It's considered high mileage because ppl who have never owned, or properly serviced a RR spread the rumor of them being unreliable. So ppl are afraid to buy them around this mileage from what I've experienced selling them used.
Man people think that once you buy expensive car, whether new or used, you won’t have any issues. It is usally “new rich idiots” who judge the world by the price tag. Every car will have issues and you just have to learn to live with them.
Hi can someone tell me it is a good idea to buy RR Evoque 2017? I really love the look and how they ride. But are they good as well as the Range Rover sport 2107? Plz help
Hi mate, great video and like below commenters the RR has become of interest. I’ve seen a RR Sport 15 plate for around £23k with 81k miles on the clock. Has the pano roof but doesn’t have the Meridian Sound System, is this a deal breaker?
It really depends, if you are a fan of good music then yes it’s deal breaker as the standard sound system isn’t great. Worth checking out still if it ticks all other boxes!
@@BuySellCarsTV I have a Mercedes CLS currently which has a Harmon Kardon system and sounds great so in comparison may notice the difference compared to standard sound system.
8 years old and 100,000 that's not high that's roughly average milege is 12 to 15,000 a year, I generally by cars upto 2 years old I've bought cars with high mileage for how old they were but not so much when I got rid, I bought an almost 6 months old Golf GT TDI 150 51 plate just under 50,000 sold it at 4 years old at 71,000 I later bought a 14 months old Audi A4 1.8T s line 08 plate with 78,000 miles kept it until it was five years old with about 110,000 sold it to a mate who still has it 10 years later .I've also scene a chap who's 2015 Range Rover sport has done over 160,000 miles with full land rover service history on TH-cam.
Well our rr v6 had blown a turbo and goosed the engine 70k on it ! What heap of dirt . Never tows . My toyota hilux carries half a ton of tools as mobile farm workshop . Spends half its life towing a trailer and keeps going . No wonder the saying is . Want to go to outback take a landrover want to come back take a toyota !
Если выбирать между моделями Range Rover l322 и l405 Я выбиру белый l322 4,4tdi с красно-коричневым салоном. Если выбирать между моделями RRS l320 и l494 Я выбираю l494 SC 5.0 тёмно-синий с сине-бронзовым или сине-белым салоном.
Please link the source document for this claim. Considering that most AA call outs are for punctures, running out of fuel and battery problems, even if your claim was correct, its nowt to do with the manufacturer (Unless a battery failure, which I experienced last year - In my VW!).
Main dealer servicing is bullshit, they do the minimum, they dont service gearbox. Since 20 years people feels mandatory to go to main dealers for servicing, reliabilty of cars have dropped...
Funniest had to be the American channel that bought a brand new LR, broke down at 300 miles and was deemed irreparable by the dealer and the experts they brought in.
I owned a 2015 Range Rover sport v8 supercharged for about 2 years. Added 16,000 miles to the car, lost 0 money. Basically drove the car for free.

Going back to a RRS after 18 months with an Audi Q8 that spent a total of 2 months in the shop. This will be my fourth RR and never had any problems with the other three. The new one will have the standard five year warranty and in any case, can’t be any worse than the Q8!
I am about to switch from a 2019 (68 plate) bmw x3 to a pre facelift rr sport. This bmw has given me nothing but head aches and problems and i have friends with rr say they have little to no problems and seeing many good reviews. As with any car tho warrenty is important
@@2sweet2handle28 My mate also had problems with his X5. He called it his BMTROUBLEYOU …
@@MrPeterthepilot Lol! Literally as im typing this im sat in it and all im seeing is bloody warning lights,brake failiures,engine oil errors,the whole lot. I service my car regularly so i dont know how this has been so unreliabe especially as its a 2019 model and im sending it to the dealership to be repaired. Welp,back to the range sport i go hopefully lol
Just found you . Looking to buy . Best advice given . Honest view . I like that .
Bought a Range Rover Tdi V6 Diesel Autobiography Sport Dynamic fully loaded with 7500 miles 6 years old 2 months ago, I am delighted
with the car, the Range Rover dealer wanted to charge £1500 to service the car, it had been garage parked for 2 years and had missed a service.
It is going into a very good garage for service (one who services Ferrari's). PS the car was bought at auction through a dealer friend.
Very low miles!
I bought a 2015 Range Rover sport. Looked exactly like this one. It was my dream car that turned into my nightmare car. Did not have high miles. It did have a ton of issues. It was In the shop more then it was on the road. Do not buy one, they are pretty, but it’s like Lipstick on a pig.
What issues did you have?
Awesome video, im currently looking at buying one although over a year on from this video but still very informative 😁
I had a 2014 sdv6 for 7 months when the crank snapped. It had 34,000 miles and full history. I paid £34,000 and sold it for £20,000. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy one. Google crank issues, it's well documented. Wish I searched this before I brought mine.
There’s no way you bought a 34k mile as Range Rover sport for 34k for a low mile, it cost more .. maybe the mileage has been tampered with
@@sammyg805 There's 43 available right now from £26k-£34k with less than 40k miles on Autotrader.
@@FROOB202 plummeted a lot in value In that case . Cos of fuel prices , there’s no much demand for heavy cars, people are going small and electric
@@sammyg805 I find it hard to believe they've dropped several thousand pounds in the last few months. This is an SDV6 and buyers paying £30k+ for them not a council estate dweller who bought a V12 Ferrari. Unless they're up to their eyes in debt I doubt they're dumping them en masse because fuels gone up a bit.
@@FROOB202 they've definitely dropped due to the arrival of the newer model. I'm in the market for one for my other half as her HP finishes next month on her current non RRS car so have been following the market for a good few months on 2017 to 2019 year ones with high spec and sub 40k miles. In that time prices are down ~£5k. Also been looking at the discovery which has dropped further. As a Porsche owner I've also seen the same especially with 991 models and GT3's have dropped a good £15k. I'd guess cost of living is playing it's part also 👍
Bought mine on 62k now on 93k apart from normal stuff I haven't had anything major. for the price I love it.
Good sound advice that should be used with any second hand car you buy👍
Ivory interior is a must i think (needs to look clean + protected if you can)
Great review, watched it and bought one- thank you
Look at the name on the tyres speaks volumes about how the car has been maintained
Yes very good point!
Do you mean the brand?
@@coldworld5 yes if you see cheap tyres on a car the person didn't spend the money on the car if you see maybe a top quality brand the car has been maintained regardless of cost
I find it strange you consider 100k miles as “high” mileage. Any well engineered and maintained motor costing £60k +. Should be capable of 200k + miles without difficulty. My VW Passat did 250k and was still going strong.
True.. I know a passat b5.5 with 1 million km like new.. no problems
Unfortunately 100k would be “high mileage” with Range Rover given some of the common issues with them and the cost of those repair. I think that’s why he put “ “.
I've had 190k from my BMW 420d, and it runs like new.
Very nice and interesting, but my Skoda Octavia is four years old and has 148k on the clock, that’s what I call high mileage 😀 and still goes like a dream.
My vrs was a very very good car, but not comfy for my eastern european short torso long legs body. Jumped into c class and now that is the best car.
thank you for the insight I just inquired about a pre-owned range rover sport one owner from a land rover dealer wish me luck.
u bought it?
Great Advice, how about if a 2016 RR has full service records but got accident and has low milage like 40k miles, this is actually the one am considering buying
I personally avoid accident cars, but just do your checks and see if they have photo evidence of the damage along with the report.
Look up a few cat s and cat n cars and look at the mileage, always seem low. I'm not saying they are clocked but it does make you wonder if they have been. Good video mate.
In Germany, they sell for as low as 15000 €, and, they have issues with the engine when goes over 140000km the oil pump breaks suddenly, and the engine is destroyed for good, the dealers pretend like they don't know anything about it it's a common fault on 3.0 diesel engine.
Just to add to this my friend has a 2015 RR Sport 70,000miles. Driving along the motorway a few weeks ago, out of nowhere, no previous warning lights, no previous oil light….nothing. The engine management lit up the engine destroyed in the time it took to pull over to the hard shoulder. New engine will cost around £6000. It’s going to RR diagnostics to determine if it’s their fault……..I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Same issue with my rr sport 2015 3.0 sdv6
Love this video if you can can post those things to look out for tried written them all down lol but kept watching
I have 2015 3.0 sdv6, I am first owner of the car. In 2021 December, crank snapped on 49.000 miles. Land Rover replaced my engine new one in February 2022. And last week my new engine crank snapped again. Now land rover says second engine must replace to new one :) do not purchase range rover car, you gonna regret if you buy. Design is good, but if you look inside to the design, there is something wrong with engine. Land rover does not know how to make a crank properly. Greetings from Turkey
Your video have helped me reach over $200,000 in stocks by age 24! Thanks . Keep the videos coming
Congrats ! I started right before Covid when the recession hit.I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during Covid.
I’m convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market…because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks

I bought a low mileage (30k miles) 2017 SDV6 and it's been nothing but trouble. Constant issues with the DPF despite regular motorway use. Nobody knows how to fix it. I've spent hours under the hood. Love the way the car drives, but cannot justify how often I'm staring at a check engine light and how much time the car is in limp mode. As for the broken crankshafts, maybe it doesn't affect a ton of owners, but the ones it does affect are out thousands and thousands of pounds. Search range rover broken crankshaft and decide for yourself.
How much money spent on repairs?
Same issue on the Land Rover discovery. The car directly goes to the limp mode. “Visit dealer” message comes on the display. It’s a shame.
@@Mina_munas Mina, have your mechanic check the solenoid on the charge air intake valve. This is the valve that mixes the turbocharged air from the primary and secondary turbos, as well as from the EGR valve. Mine was sticking and causing a P0234-77 fault code (turbo overboost) and when that fault code is logged, the car WILL NOT regenerate the DPF. That's why the car was suddenly giving me the message to visit dealer for the clogged DPF - the overboost error won't always light a check engine light. I'd like to say that a Land Rover mechanic figured this out, but I figured it out on my own because those guys don't seem to have any clue how to fix their own products.
Shane I had the same issue on my SDV6 and after purchasing an expensive diagnostic tool (GAP) found that the error was a turbo overboost. This is caused by a sticking butterfly valve on the main air intake. It's not overly expensive to repair and this will most probably sort it. Google the issue and the sticking inlet valve is very common.
@@chrismchale1174 I already fixed that but still have the error. I've traced it to the solenoid on the charge air intake valve. Waiting on the part to arrive from Germany.
Thanks for the great vid mate. Would have never considered an RR but they have grown massively on me recently. Plus I’ve seen how cheap you can pick them up and they look fantastic! As you say careful when you buy and fingers crossed 😅
Awesome good advice. I love JLR vehicles but it’s important to know about used cars especially these
Comfort in knowing can own a preowned Range Rover👏🏾
I hear and agree with what you say, my only concern is it’s value and saleability in 3 years/35000 extra miles when I want to sell It? What are your thoughts on residual value, say if I buy one with 110k on it now?
I think to some extent the higher the miles, the less you will be affected on residuals as the miles increase
So are they reliable or not ? what's up with the rumors about these vehicles ? I'm thinking about buying one
Crank failure on the 3.0 diesel is a definite risk.
Who buy's a Range Rover without a sunroof?
Regardless of price, I would have to agree
Bav singh would
first thing i noticed
Brrruhhh I just saw it and got mad 😂
Any south Asian would get any range !!
Good to have a new upload from you bro.
Excellent review. I wanted to ask, are you gonna consider getting the 2023 Range Rover Sport.
I prefer the new Range Rover over the new sport!
Great advice, unbiased and well presented thank you!
Actually, having had very poor service in the past from Ayr and Edinburgh land rover, i now trust my local indy much more.
I agree with you 💯💯💯these the best cars by far
What if the front air suspension was done but not the arms?
Should you really avoid it if it has any aftermarket parts?
Great insights! Thank you. Just subscribed!
only thing I noticed is my seathad worn quite a lot and the foam has gone thin
I personally would avoid main dealer service history going by my experience with LR main dealers, in fact I would avoid like the plague.
Mine is the 5.0 v8 Supercharged 504hp
❤I love my Rover !! 3rd one !!💕😊
People who says these have the BIIG expensive problems are they who buy these with their last money, ant pay cheapest or near cheapest in the market for ones that been neglected and over 150k miles plus.
Good video simple stuff to follow . Yeah i d buy high one now then . Great money
It's considered high mileage because ppl who have never owned, or properly serviced a RR spread the rumor of them being unreliable. So ppl are afraid to buy them around this mileage from what I've experienced selling them used.
Exceptional insight, Much appreciated.
Man people think that once you buy expensive car, whether new or used, you won’t have any issues. It is usally “new rich idiots” who judge the world by the price tag. Every car will have issues and you just have to learn to live with them.
Nice video. Surprised that nothing is mentioned about the transfer case.. Juddering when turning from a stop…
100,000 miles is not high its a 8 year old car
Saw one in my local dealer a 2016 turbocharge diesel se td6 for $26k. Worth it? I only had Audi Q5 in the past and it was a money pit.
Hi can someone tell me it is a good idea to buy RR Evoque 2017? I really love the look and how they ride. But are they good as well as the Range Rover sport 2107? Plz help
thank you for giving me hope!
"If there's one car for the rest of my life..."
But will the car (and its reliability) make it to "next year".
Hello. Im looking to buy one 2018 do u have any i. Stock. Cheers.Taps
Hi, great review. Please advice; for the vogue, do you recommend 3l or 4.4l and why?
4.4 all day long much more reliable than the 3.0
Hi mate, great video and like below commenters the RR has become of interest. I’ve seen a RR Sport 15 plate for around £23k with 81k miles on the clock. Has the pano roof but doesn’t have the Meridian Sound System, is this a deal breaker?
It really depends, if you are a fan of good music then yes it’s deal breaker as the standard sound system isn’t great. Worth checking out still if it ticks all other boxes!
@@BuySellCarsTV I have a Mercedes CLS currently which has a Harmon Kardon system and sounds great so in comparison may notice the difference compared to standard sound system.
Only if you are confident at performing your own repairs.
Great advice ! Thank you
How much for a Detail £GBP in UK?
Just saw this beauty on your website nice 👌👌👌
8 years old and 100,000 that's not high that's roughly average milege is 12 to 15,000 a year, I generally by cars upto 2 years old I've bought cars with high mileage for how old they were but not so much when I got rid, I bought an almost 6 months old Golf GT TDI 150 51 plate just under 50,000 sold it at 4 years old at 71,000 I later bought a 14 months old Audi A4 1.8T s line 08 plate with 78,000 miles kept it until it was five years old with about 110,000 sold it to a mate who still has it 10 years later .I've also scene a chap who's 2015 Range Rover sport has done over 160,000 miles with full land rover service history on TH-cam.
Did you sell this car? If so How much were you asking for it?
Did you say the cam belt need changing around 100k miles. Is the cam belt the same as timing belt
Correct , and then check the water pump as close by each other
@@meditatemindful635 thanks I thought they had a timing chain
Can you do a velar?
The fact that you're calling 100k high mileage shows RR standards are not the same as Ford standards. Tell us how is going at 200k.
What a legend thanks very much
Happy to help
Can someone explain the point mentioned at 13:01 please?
Cam belt important component of engine) needs changing every 70-100k miles, if not then can cause significant issues.
100k in 9 years is average mileage
Well our rr v6 had blown a turbo and goosed the engine 70k on it ! What heap of dirt . Never tows .
My toyota hilux carries half a ton of tools as mobile farm workshop . Spends half its life towing a trailer and keeps going . No wonder the saying is . Want to go to outback take a landrover want to come back take a toyota !
When is the next upload mate
I love my Range Rover
Amazing😊
I think of high mileage as 150k +
Если выбирать между моделями Range Rover l322 и l405 Я выбиру белый l322 4,4tdi с красно-коричневым салоном. Если выбирать между моделями RRS l320 и l494 Я выбираю l494 SC 5.0 тёмно-синий с сине-бронзовым или сине-белым салоном.
Why would you want your car to look aggressive? Maybe if you're a chav, I suppose.
Thanks 🙏
You need a kitty of about £3000 for maintenance
The statistics that come out from the AA prove that Landrover products make for over 50% of their calls outs
Please link the source document for this claim. Considering that most AA call outs are for punctures, running out of fuel and battery problems, even if your claim was correct, its nowt to do with the manufacturer (Unless a battery failure, which I experienced last year - In my VW!).
@@petermorris3665 well said.fed up with people slagging them off, especially those who never owned one.
Main dealer servicing is bullshit, they do the minimum, they dont service gearbox. Since 20 years people feels mandatory to go to main dealers for servicing, reliabilty of cars have dropped...
since when 100k miles is considered high mileage ?????????????? :)))))))))
In Ireland 16000 plus is normal
Mercedes, BMW, all expensive and therefore complex cars have problems.
Also I might add before you buy find a excellent Land Rover independent shop. The factory dealerships will empty your wallet!
Good video but your hand moving about all the time when talking got on my nerves
Funniest had to be the American channel that bought a brand new LR, broke down at 300 miles and was deemed irreparable by the dealer and the experts they brought in.
Do you have the link for that video?
You can get teething problems on a new model car, can happen to any manufacturer. After a few years , initial problems are usually solved.
American range rovers were made in Mexico … they always have problems
@@sammyg805 this was a discovery
