Land Rover Range Rover maintenance: the schedule, the costs, the traps
A full-size luxury SUV with a gas powertrain. Below: the service intervals with real cost ranges, the repairs Range Rover owners actually report, and when a fleet operator would sell. Same data Carlyle uses to score fleet buys.

Known repair windows
What Range Rover owners actually run into
Mileage ranges where these repairs typically show up. Buying above a window is not automatically a pass - it just needs to be priced in.
Air suspension (compressor, air springs, valve block)
high severity60,000-110,000 mi · $1,500-$3,500
Twin-chamber air springs and compressor are a chronic Range Rover cost center; leaks/sag common.
Brake system faults / recalls
high severity0-60,000 mi · $0-$2,000
L460 leads NHTSA complaints in service brakes/hydraulics; several early brake and supplier recalls.
Electrical / software & approach-lock issues
medium severity0-70,000 mi · $0-$1,800
Approach lock/unlock, soft-close doors, modules and infotainment glitches; often software/module fixes.
48V MHEV / 12V battery drain
medium severity20,000-80,000 mi · $400-$2,200
Parasitic drains and MHEV starter-generator faults on the inline-6; frequent battery replacements.
Front camera / driver-assist sensor damage
low severity20,000-100,000 mi · $800-$1,800
Low-mounted front camera and radar sensors are vulnerable and costly to recalibrate/replace.
Operator notes
Fifth-gen flagship (L460, 2022+). Primary US powertrain is gas: P400 3.0L inline-6 with 48V MHEV and P530 4.4L twin-turbo V8; plug-in hybrid P550e/P510e also offered (EV variant arriving). Timing-chain engines. Condition-based service, dealer default ~16,000 mi / 12 mo on 0W-20/0W-30 synthetic; severe use ~10,000 mi.
When the smart money sells
On fleet math, a gas Range Rover retires around 95,000 miles - but the exit window opens earlier here: inside the Brake system faults / recalls risk window ($0-$2,000). Carlyle's garage tracks this per car, against your actual odometer.
Cost ranges are typical US independent-shop estimates and vary by region and condition. Modeling, not mechanic advice - always confirm against your car's service records.
