Good advice. You either get them or you don't. I had about 7, brilliant cars.

Think a low mileage,fsh and a rainy day fund are a must with one of these…..and a strong belief in God.

I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first supercar. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly because money left saving will end up with no returns.

Nice video. Driven by over achieving local building contractors everywhere 😄 It’s no different to any big, expensive car over the years- the older they get, the used price looks attractive but people do not realise how much they cost to run and start missing services or proper repairs etc and then if you get bad press like RR are having at the moment they become very difficult to shift I imagine…

I went for Volvo xc90 Inscription- I was so tempted by LR but thankfully made the right move.

As somebody who works at JLR Solihull, the management and the track is a nightmare.. we have 90 seconds to finish our process (usually plenty of time, enough time to double check your work just in case)… top management try and add more to everybodies job and remove people from the track. They call it productivity, but this is when things are missed and jobs are done poorly….

196000 on mine. I think the trouble is people use all their available funds to buy the car and forget they need to look after it and wonder why it needs a new engine or incurs a big big after it hasn't seen a garage in years.

I live in Portugal now and 100k miles is considered just run in , cars are sold with 500,000 miles on the clock and u still get a min 18 month warranty ... But Portugal has no fleet market and that is a major reason for the market in UK with people obsessed with the needless pursuit of a new car every 3 years ..

We had an Evoque which spent more time in the dealership than on the road, then we had a Discovery Sport which had nothing wrong with it at all. They really are a roll of the dice.

They’re worth sub £20k because they just fall to bits. Best feeling I had in 12 years….ditching the Range Rover brand. Gone and not missed. I loved them, while they worked but it was in an out of the garage every few months; it never ends, There is always something that needs sorting. I poured thousands of money into ‘needed maintenance’ but also preventative maintenance and it still let me down numerous times. Lost count of the amount of times it got towed to a garage. Last L322 I he’d, 5 years. Spent £6000 a year just in repairs on average. But it isn’t just about the cost, it’s the mega inconvenience every time it went in. I ended up buying a second car. Utterly ridiculous. Never again. Once working, they won’t be beaten…. When working they are literally the perfect car. But they don’t work very often and that’s their biggest downfall.

I don't need one, i already have a fabulous BMW 640 which in every respect is utterly faultless, but i still sort of want one, despite all the negativity.

LR really need to put their acts together and start seriously addressing the reliability issues of these cars. They have shamelessly been ignoring that for years. People are just sick of this unreliability issue.

Loved the down to earth video best video I’ve seen on these cars in a long time Well done

I had a Range Rover Sport 2015 Autobiography with the full works, I loved it but I knew if there was ever going to be an issue I would have to take out the warranty from Land Rover. I am glad I did because it spent most of its time in the garage and any issues I had they could not replicate. As soon as I left the showroom the issues came back and I had to re book it in. Honestly Lovely car but when you have a family and a busy life it just becomes the biggest hassle on the planet. I now lease a car for £300 a month and life is so much easier.

Just insured a new one for £1200 with the NFU (Farmer, 52, Sussex) A bargain considering the price of the car. - as for reliability, offload once the warranty expires .

Great honest information on cost and tips, subscribed!

Roll dice is correct. I purchased an L494 (63 reg 81000 miles In may 2018 ), full LR service . It’s only covered 95000 to date .the only cost is an engine oil change every year ( done myself) . Never missed a beat no dash lights absolutely pleasure to own. But of course only now worth half of the £29000 I paid for it 😂

Just renewed my 2011 L322 4.4tdv8. My current company LV quoted £1400. Twenty minutes on a comparison site and got it for £800. In Herts and 65 years old. It’s worth it. That is full business use as well.

I just got my mom this car she loves it. I already found a trusted specialist to take it to if a repair comes up. So far so good no engine issues. We had a discovery 2 back in the day and it was a 2002 that we had until about 2012 or 13

I've got a 2015 Autobiography with the 4.4 V8 diesel plus active body control. Only 54k miles thank goodness. But to drive it's so much better overall than other cars I've ever had, including Lexus and Jags. So worth the insurance and servicing costs. Reliability has been about the same as anything else. Cars are SO complicated and all are built down to a cost. My LS430 had more niggles than anything else I've owned.

I had an early model, no fancy thingys no electronics just did what it was designed for. Simple, reliable v8.

I and 7 friends of mine have had either Range Rover sports or Discovery 4’s , all with the 3 litre Diesel engine. Only 1 of the 8 has its original engine!!! Most of us have been life long Land Rover owners and most of us, as much as we love the cars when they are running, have or will go elsewhere in the future! The cost of running them is now off the scale and the reliability is SO bad, we can’t justify it anymore!! JLR need to get a serious grip on these issues. 😳

Ah the SDV6 crankshaft lottery. My mate has 2 LR4's both have had snapped cranks and been rebuilt, one had only done 40k KM's

I’m not sure whether you are Greg or Craig but I want to thank you so much for this video. That was some great info mate and just what I needed. I currently drive a late 2015 diesel BMW F31 in gun-metal grey, with charcoal and cream leather trim just over 60k miles on the clock and I love it. Fantastic car and everybody passes favourable comments about it - they all love it. I bought it with privacy glass and I have to say, it is a looker. I used to live in London and if I was still there, some bugger would’ve nicked it ages ago. But I’m back home in good auld Northern Ireland and have been for many years but I have always wanted a Range Rover Sport, especially the model you are driving here. Gorgeous cars. It’s very interesting when you point out the depreciation. That doesn’t put me off as I usually buy a car I really want, love to drive and I take care of it for many years. Now retired, I don’t do the mileage I used to when working, which was over 100 miles per day. A Range Rover is still an attractive proposition though, especially the 7-seater, with two young grandsons and their parents to fit in. You gave me every bit of info I needed. Thank you mate. That deserves and will get a 👍 as well as a subscription. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍☘️

Mine currently at 98k, (owned since 42k) only issue had is a blocked turbo breather hose and sensor. £30 to sort

The achilles heel is the 3.0TDv6, the Crankshaft bearings pick up & subsequently chew themselves to destruction, resulting in complete engine failure, there is no rhyme or reason for the bearing failure, they can fail @ 10k or 100k miles, bizarrely servicing is not a factor, I have known cars go in for a service & the engine seizes driving out of the service centre, that will land you with a £20k bill for a new engine, great review by the way, I'm now a subscriber 👍

Great looking cars and you should always expect expensive repair cost on such cars, same goes with any premium motor.. Expect more maintenance with its heavy weight wearing out breaks/discs and tyres.

I have owned a 2015 3sdv since 2019. Absolutely brilliant and faultless 😊. You missed roadtax £450 and occasional ulez.

It needed an new engine at 18k because the crankshaft ate itself. Hopefully your new engine has the new bearing/oil seal. I'm in the market for a 20k ish L494 myself. Just have to go into LR ownership with your eyes open and a contingency plan. I keep a couple of K aside for unexpected issues with my Disco each year. It's been rolling on for four years, so I'll put it to the next one.

Great video, he covered every aspect,at the end of the day it is totally personal choice it doesn’t matter how cheap they drop they are very expensive to drive round and unless you’re very lucky they’ll still depreciate, you pays you money takes a choice!

The two happiest days of Range Rover ownership are the day you pick it up and the day you get rid of it.

Lovely balanced review and honest opinion 👌 so true its a roll of the dice 🎲.

£3500 for my 2020 Sport. 8 companies refused including the company I was with. London based

I have 18 year old range rover spot neve leat me down not worked on LR

All these 2.0d ignum engine's from LR are simply a rolling bag of spanners. JLR need to address a long list of electrical and engine issues on their next lot of big ideas for they're new models.

Great honest review.

One set of people I ask about quality of JLR products are the designers and engineers on why there so much reliability problems. Going back to the mid 1990's early 2000's, there have articles about the enormous pressures on R&D engineering personnel's knock out projects very quickly without taking 6-8 years developing the upcoming model.

How true "Roll of the Dice" . My 2015 D4 TDV3.0 250,000 kilometres perfect, lucky eh?

LV won't insure them. Best I could do was £4k when looking to buy one. Bought an RS4 instead, £450 fully comp.

Get the 5.0L V8. Had it for over a year. Not missed a beat. Puts a smile in my face every day!

Great looking cars and you should always expect expensive repair cost on such cars)))

i had an early one on an 02 plate and after 200,000 miles and 20 years MOT testers were amazed at how good it was

and spec level of the car has to reflect the price as there is so many options..mine is HSE but has meridian sound system..full colour coded bumpers and side skirts,,heated steering wheel,,360 camera system,,tilt and slide pan roof,,tv tuner in front with screens in the rear headrest,,self park,,you got to find the right spec to suit you as there all a little different

Got one, same age, had it for three years, 24k km per year town and country driving,. No issues Fully comp insurance AUD$700

I brought the 2014 SDV8 not less than a week ago, to early to comment on ownership. That being said I was going through the paperwork and the car has had outstanding routine maintenance since leaving the factory. The last owner paid 12k more than I did only two years ago, so serious depreciation in the last two years despite only covering 15k miles. You got to weigh up the risk. Yes there’s more warrantee claims, but there are also a lot more jaguar land rovers on the road than other brands, so I guess it’s commensurate. Look after your car, your car will look after you it’s simple. As for the value, buy them now….. once insurance stabilises, demand will drive prices back up.

Yes what you have said is true if you have a good one you couldn’t have a better car the cars current took a good kicking November December but are recovering it’s “definitely time to buy they’ve never been such good value January saw a big improvement “ running costs over the last 4 years have average £865.70 covering 46560 miles the only visit to landrover for annual maintenance and mot that includes tyres the engine is the 306 hp and average 35.2 mpg fast road towing and town average Insurance was not a Huge issue last year and landrover are free of charge ,cars with history going to recall back to 2016 I believe to update the security systems . So running costs no more than any other luxury car Mpg not bad as they’re made of aluminium and you can average 35.2 mpg without trying Value never been a better time to buy as prices are going to recover and are going up What better car is there to tow with What gives more luxury I’m on my second Range Rover I had 4 discovery’s before it’s been a pleasure to drive what is one of the last British vehicles even if it’s owned by tata in India Good to have someone supporting a good brand and good model my advice is buy buy buy the time is perfect

Just got cover easy 645 for a year 2011 sdv6 rr sport .

I know 3 people that had Rangy sports. 2 had suspension issues. The 3rd hardly a problem

I wouldn’t spend 5k with JLR ever! Once bitten twice shy! Not reliable I had to spend 8K on repairs , buyer beware!

I think you hit the nail on the head…. Unfortunately, It’s a roll of the dice with JLR.😥

Just bought another one after price fall of them as you say luck of the draw but I've been lucky but I'm fully aware they can cost a arm and a leg. If you are after one do your home work be prepared for issues and costs but all round a great car don't let the Internet put you off

Seen one in a reputable dealer near me who I’ve always bought my cars from for £17k I had to ask was that actually the price I couldn’t believe it… if my insurance allowed me to I’d have bought it there and then

Most I got out of my RR sport diesel was 22 mpg

Just renewed on my sport 2016 same as last year 750.00

Nice car, love the sunroof

A nice driveway ornament...or parking outside the Gymn or school run 😂🎉

We have a Range Rover Sport dynamic…autobiography, fantastic vehicle..just renewed my insurance £648 fully comp for 2024/25

You can get 2016/17 autobiography for less than 20k too around 100K miles

A good and mainly fair assessment. When they hit 8 years of age brake pipes rust through around the back, upper and lower suspension arm bushes need replacing, as mentioned also brake discs and pads, all costing many hundreds of pounds. Also 3.0 v6 crankshafts prone to snapping and wrecking your engine, looking at £30,000 to replace. Maybe I've forgotten a few bits, message is; if you buy one keep £5000 in the bank for the first years running cost (just in case) and that doesn't include insurance and tax. Having said that they are the best car on the road. when all's well.

MY DAUGHTER HAS JUST HAD A RENEWAL INSURANCE QUOTE OF £28,440 FOR A 2016 RR SPORT IN LONDON (19 YEARS NCB, 2 RECENT NO FAULT CLAIMS, 6 MOTORWAY SPEEDING POINTS). SHES GOT TO TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD.

How about being severely tough on criminal thieves!!!

Buy a bad one and you are in for a shock! I sold them in the late 90s just as bad now as then.

Who do you recommend for a warranty?

It's one of the original new shape RR Sports. It's got the oldest body shape, it's got the rubbish infotainment. You need to ask Ford about the engine, because it was built by them, not Land Rover. I've never had any significant problems with any of my Land Rovers or Range Rovers, but repairs for stuff like suspension arms and discs and pads can be expensive, though no more expensive than a similar level BMW, Audi or Mercedes. By the way, the fixed side steps look awful on that car.

Spot on

Never thought I’d live to see the day where the words - “Range Rover” and “value for money”, would be within the same sentence and be appropriate.

New engine after 18k miles is the legendary Ford Lion V6. Great engine, loads of torque, but crankshafts are prone to snapping. It’s a flawed design. Some engines do 250k others do 18k. Also worth pointing out that LR products are loaded with tech. More tech = more things to go wrong. But if you want the tech, you need to accept that at some point it will fail.

Interesting video, but wish you drove with both hands on the wheel and no elbow on the window ledge - even in a Range Rover.

You have to have deep pockets full of cash to own a Range Rover out of warranty or just to keep the thing maintained and insured.

Just don’t do it - life is tough enough already without having one of these around your neck.

The insurance costs for a 20k RRS is at least £2k a year and probably rising going forward! Who's going to pay that??

Not unless you want to find it's been nicked, also if you can afford the insurance in the 1st place!!

I can not believe that Landrover or any manufacturer for that matter, can't make a theft-proof car. I refuse to believe that. A matter of an immobilizer with the sophistication of biometrics and one-time use of randomly generated codes. they need to get their act together or this will sink the brand.

Land Rovers are premium priced vehicles but with low cost parts how do I know ? I have had four.

Who do you use for your Warranty?

When he said why why are they so cheep I was shouting insurance and theft of these stay the fuck away from them 😂😂free advise 🙌

How much is road tax?

Buy one ,,,get one free,😮 you'll need two as one will go in the following 24 hrs,

I live in north london

It will, at some point, throw a leg out of bed! Would never own JLR again. It was like driving round in a bomb waiting to go off, was worried everytime i used it until eventually it did go bang!

77 000 miles is not really low mileage and you know after 70 000 the beginning of replacement parts kicks in.

Ok let’s be honest here, LR are the most unreliable cars in the world, I’ve had 2 RR bought new both total garbage from brakes to electric to differential problems on both, sat nav was a nightmare. Bmw now never had any issues in 6 cars including x6, x5 7 series

If you buy a range rovers you buy a big car that needs lots of petrol and the tyres are very expensive and you have to clean it a lot and people will steal your motor car it’s very bad if they sell it to someone who never knows it’s stole from you it’s so bad

Buy an X5, Q7 or anything else that won't cost silly money to insure

Why buy a car that won't get you from a to b even worse why make one there not worth the hassle..

Then you try to insure it.

They are not prestigious, other motorists smile and pray for the range rover driver for a range of issues from reliability to insurance.

Why you ask ? They are unreliable, horrendous depreciation, costly services,horrendous customer sevice,insurance now ,there sales pitch certainly works well ,I think they sell on glamour ,prestige ,ostentatious, mind set ,I'd NEVER BUY ONE

I've had seven range rovers I would never buy another one the last one spent more time in the dealership than I drove it constantly flat battery , over priced , over valued piece of carp .

SVR? 😳😳😳

The problem is on the manufacturing side. As an ex-employee, they were using more and more agency people on the tracks - some of whom were good, some were not! Personally, I’ve just sold my Discovery 4 for medical reasons…….i miss it SO much, and had no problems at all! Absolutely fantastic vehicle to drive, and people who have never owned one will not understand what a joy it is to drive! However, I agree with the comment about being regal - they are!

please do your own reseach, and stop believing car salesmen. in the video "worst suv's you can buy in 2023" by redriven they say "we could literally have made almost this whole video about land rover and range rover products ". i personally love how most of their products look, but... according to my research, in average they cost so much to keep running and they spend so much time at mechanics. from redriven: "according to land rover, 35% of disco sports have major issues"

Why does Range Rover get such bad press when the Bentley Arnage from 50k miles can blow head gaskets and other makes like BMW Mercedes also have terrible models

The truth about any JLR product especially anything with a Rover badge, is that they are all a pile of utter crap. New or old, it does not matter.Anyone buying one gets all they deserve, as far as im concerned.

Soon as you said village 😂 Try getting insured in Birmingham and London

just google most unreliable car or most stolen car in the UK and you'll see how good rangie is

Thing is 9 years old.....£20k about right.

6:45 actually, we do know. the 2.7 and 3.0 JLR diesels are just piece of sh*te exactly for the reason you mentioned. If you're lucky it'll work. If not one day the crankshaft will just break in half 😆 And it might happen at 15k miles as well as at 120k 🤷‍♂ Its unreliability reputation aside, is it me, or around 10-year old RR is a vehicle of choice of a self employed white van man often with a number plate starting with BO55 🤣

Your premise is faulty. They are not a 50-60k car, they are an impractical and outdated design of a 25-30k car. That they now sell for less than 20k should ring alarm bells, not act as a lure to get one and the history of faults and awful after sales are just two big reasons.

Yep lovely looking apart from Poor reliability Unreliable engines and running gear Shocking depreciation Insurance premium cost Awful dealerships Crazy parts pricing Buy a Kia instead and that just about sums them up.
