Most people who say " Don't buy a Range Rover over 100,000 miles have never owned a car, much less a Range Rover over this mileage, and by today's standards 100,000 miles is not even considered high any more by those that are educated in such matters. I've been in the trade professionally for nearly 40 years ( and I do mean professionally) and regularly buy Range Rovers over at least 130,000 miles, BUT ...... they are "always" the 4.4 TDV8 AND ..... I don't touch them unless they have proper maintenance history, are not all "blinged" up or made to look like something out of a bad "Boys in the Hood" movie" have been cherished and cared for, and haven't had a pack of smelly pets or farm animals inside them ...... mileage becomes almost immaterial if it's been cared for correctly, I'm currently driving one with 170,000 miles on it and it looks and drives like a 70,000 mile example, but at nearly half the price ! ...... so to answer those doom mongers and " haven't a clue" types, by all means DO buy a high mileage Range Rover, just buy the right one. Enjoy your vehicle, still the besr driving and most luxury 4x4 in the world
I’ve had my ‘15 for a year and have racked up almost 30k miles in that time, few thousand miles away from 100k now. I’ve replaced the front brakes once and rear brakes twice. Also replaced the sway bar bushings. Everything else has been routine maintenance. Only thing that sucks is the gas mileage, but other than that it’s been great.
Hard to believe that’s your first video, can’t wait to see how your journey goes. I’ve got a range and yeah they can have their niggles but it’s hard not to love them
Hope you have an update soon. Just found a 2013 L405 with 5.0 engine 103,000 miles. My son who is 17 loves this RR so it’s going to be a learning experience for him on car repair. But it’s fun to see his enthusiasm for it - how I was at 17 about 69 Camaros.
Love this video and cant wait for the next one. I am in a connundrum and am being told exactly what you were "dont buy a high mileage Range Rover without a full main dealer serice history. I am eager to buy one but paranoid its going to develop an expensive fault after a couple of months. I am mechanically minded and restored a few old cars so would attempt to fix it myself, just not brave enough to take the plunge........ yet...... Look forward to your next video
All best Sir. Please do post videos consistently as there is so little content about L405 ownership. I am very much interested in knowing about the journey. I plan to pick on up later. It's a beautiful machine.
Well done it’s a great idea to create a video journal of your experience, not to mention 👍 good 👍 content, I came to the conclusion if you buy these cars you need to keep a spare 2k in the bank to help sort things out… once you get it.
Hi Mark, for the past 2 months I have been toying with the idea of buying a RR just like yours. I know they get bad press but surely they can't be that bad or they still wouldn't be in business. Any way I have subscribed to follow you on your journey to see if I still want to buy one. Good luck with your purchase and your new channel.
