Verdict
A large luxury SUV rated 5 stars by Euro NCAP (3.0 TDV6 version). Used, it requires a high maintenance budget: the air suspension and the electronics are the reported weak points, especially on cars built before 2015. A complete service history is essential.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: average for a closely related model (other generation or same platform).
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

Inspection checklist
Land Rover Range Rover IV — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Park the car for a few hours and then check that no corner has sagged; listen to the suspension compressor.
- Test all the electronic functions: screen, cameras, CarPlay, gauges, driver assistance systems.
- Insist on the full service book and the recall history (PistonHeads reports many recalls).
- Prefer a car built after 2015, which is less affected by electrical and trim defects.
- P400e: ask for proof of battery charging and maintenance.
Questions to ask the seller
- Has the air suspension already been repaired (compressor, air springs)? Do you have the invoices?
- Have all manufacturer recalls been carried out at Land Rover?
- What is the complete service history (stamped service book, invoices)?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
