Land Rover Reliability
Nothing says reliability like a trusty Land Rover. After all this is a brand that’s build on a reputation for butch, indestructible build-quality and tough off-road performance. But, while Land Rovers may look indestructible, they tend to perform poorly in reliability tests.
In fact, Land Rover placed last (out of 33 car manufacturers), with just 2.5 points out of 5, in MotorEasy's recent study into car reliability, which analysed 40,000 years worth of car ownership. It came in second last in our most likely to breakdown list.
So, while Land Rovers may look robust there is plenty of evidence to suggest they aren’t as reliable as you might expect.
How reliable are Land Rover’s top models?
Range Rover
It may come as a bit of a surprise to learn that Range Rovers are among the least reliable cars on the market. Warranty data and customer satisfaction feedback indicates that this large luxury vehicle is likely to spend a lot of time being repaired. Particular issues are reported with the axel and suspension.
Land Rover Discovery
Early signs suggest that the latest Discovery is more dependable but, for all its qualities, this model has a regrettable reputation for poor reliability. Commonly identified issues include electronic and software failure and problems with the air suspension and air compressor.
