Land Rover Range Rover

Which Land Rover Range Rover years should you avoid?

Going by 1,001 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Land Rover Range Rover years to avoid are 2003, 2016 and 2015.

• 200397 complaints, 2.7× a typical Range Rover year, most often about the transmission.
• 201679 complaints, 2.2× a typical Range Rover year, most often about the steering.
• 201571 complaints, 2.0× a typical Range Rover year, most often about the steering.

Too new to judge: 2025 and 2026. Complaints take a few years to arrive, so a new model year looks better than it is.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
