The bottom line
A Range Rover that looks tidy is still a powertrain and electronics bet more than a body bet. Nearly four in five have a repainted panel, so fresh paint alone is not a red flag, and structural repairs are uncommon enough that any frame work should be a walk-away. What should stop you is the engine: oil leaks show up on most of these cars, often alongside fuel-trim problems and electronic faults, and more than half still have active error codes. Scan before you trust a quiet dash, look under the engine for wet seams, and price tires and pending codes into the offer or leave.
