These Range Rovers carry plenty of respray work and an engine-heavy fault pattern led by oil leaks, fuel-trim issues and electronic-component problems. Active error codes show up on more than half, so your first moves on any car are a lift check for leaks and a diagnostic scan you watch in person. Treat worn tires as an expected extra cost. Structural repairs stay rare, the one real plus, but a wet engine or lingering codes is your signal to negotiate hard or walk away.
