Is it True that Range Rovers Don’t Last? How Many Miles Can It Last?

To many Nigerians, driving a Range Rover is the epitome of success and a symbol of wealth, while for others, driving a Range Rover means that you can go anywhere at any time due to the lineup’s unrelenting capability both on and off the road. 

However, there’s also a stigma that comes with the brand as most of its vehicles have been considered to be unreliable and very expensive to repair. But if you ever do buy a Range Rover, how many miles could you expect it to last?

Is it True that Range Rovers Don’t Last?

Technically speaking, any vehicle can last for ages with the proper care and maintenance. However, when it comes to Range Rovers, you never really know what you’re going to get. For example, Car and Driver noted that their 2018 Range Rover Velar went to the repair shop multiple times for electrical issues and a recall concerning a leaking fuel rail. And this was a vehicle that only had 40,000 miles on it! 

It’s safe to say that any Range Rover, new or used, can last for many years and many miles. However, it’s possible that you’ll be left with some heavy repair bills along the way. According to some consumer feedback, many Range Rover owners have reported their cars lasting over 100,000 miles and you can even find plenty of them for sale with just as many miles, but the cost that it took them to get there is often expensive. 

Think Before Buying a Range Rover in Nigeria

If you’re thinking about buying a used Range Rover in Nigeria, then it’s advisable to be cautious when doing so. Be sure to get a pre-purchase inspection done and take into consideration the possible repairs that you might encounter during your ownership.
