2021 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Fuel Costs

The 1997cc hybrid engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy.

Buying a Used 2021 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

At 5 years old, the LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. If you're flexible on year, the 2019 model has the highest pass rate at 94%.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2021 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Hybrid Battery Health

Medium risk

After 5 years, hybrid battery capacity may have reduced. A full replacement costs £2,000-£4,000, though reconditioning is cheaper at £500-£1,500.

Inverter and Power Electronics

Low risk

The inverter converts DC to AC for the electric motor. Failures are expensive (£1,500+) but relatively rare. Listen for unusual buzzing sounds.

Regenerative Braking

Medium risk

Brake discs can corrode from reduced use (the electric motor handles most braking). Surface rust is normal but deep pitting needs attention.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
