Just adding my two cents.
I bought my CPO 2012 Land Rover LR4 HSE with 32,000 miles on it in 2015. I now have 177,000 miles on it. During that time, I’ve had just one breakdown. It happened about seven days after I was off roading in the Mojave Preserve. I had a front left wheel bearing failure. With that said, I’ve had no breakdowns on or off the road. I stick to the scheduled maintenance guidelines as outlined by Land Rover. Every 10,000 miles. When I take the truck in for service, I never use anything cheap. I always spend the extra money for OEM or better when it comes to parts. And I especially avoid the made in China crap. If I was going to buy another 4 x 4, I would buy another Land Rover LR4 or maybe the new Defender.
Pros: Legendary off-road performance and for good reason. A luxury ride with excellent seats (you feel like you have a commanding view of the road), and plenty of interior room. Backseats lay down perfectly flat. Room for 6 foot person to sleep in the back.
Cons: Scheduled maintenance services are expensive. Parts are expensive. MPG is terrible. I average 12.3 MPG. 10 MPG when you’re off the pavement. Small fuel tank.
Would I buy another Land Rover. Yes.
*** UPDATE 04/19/2023 ***
The “LOW COOLANT” warning light my dash flashed on. I checked the coolant level only to find that the reservoir was full. Seems the sensor inside the reservoir had gone south. Looked like an easy fix. Search the local auto parts stores and they all carried the same product; Dorman Coolant Reservoir - Made in China. Against my better judgement I bought it. 90 minutes later I completed the install with only a minor setback. The crossover coolant tube snapped in half like a pretzel stick. Dang! The good news is that a couple of golf tees gave a temporary fix.
Putting that issue aside, I started the engine, waited a few minutes and SOB the dang coolant, warning, message displayed on the dashboard again. Turns out the sensor in the tank was defective. Which brings me back to my earlier piece of advice, ALWAYS AVOID BUYING MADE IN CHINA!! I thought buying from a reputable brand like Dorman would make a difference. That decision ended up costing me more money & time and effort in the long run. I’m kicking myself for not adhering to my own advice. I ended up buying a coolant reservoir that was made in the United Kingdom, including the crossover tube. Once installed, everything worked as advertised.
The moral of the story is, Never buy made in China parts if you can avoid it. Inevitably you won’t be saving any money in the long run.
And a word to the wise, if you’re an LR4 owner, just bite the bullet and change out that coolant crossover tube. It is very brittle and will break with very little effort.
