The bottom line
Most of these Range Rovers sit in mediocre territory, so pristine ones are rare finds. Oil leaks hit 58% of them and pair with active error codes plus other engine electronics trouble, turning the powertrain and electrics into the first places cash disappears. Four out of five also carry at least one repainted panel, which usually means prior damage got tidied up rather than fully sorted. On the one you’re eyeing, start with a leak check and full code scan before anything else; fresh leaks or uncleared faults are solid grounds to walk or hammer the price hard.
