This 2012 Range Rover Westminster is a genuine reliability concern: just 44.6% pass first time, nearly half the UK average of 80%, with almost three-quarters of a failure per vehicle on average. The diesel engines show no advantage either, posting an identical 44.3% pass rate, and while dangerous defects are rare at 0%, the sheer volume of mechanical failures makes this a high-maintenance proposition.
At 95,730 miles median (typical for a 12-year-old), these vehicles are falling apart mechanically rather than simply aging poorly. The absence of any advisories suggests problems are serious enough to trip outright failures—mainly suspension, transmission, and diesel engine components—so budget for significant repair costs if you buy one. Get a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist and have a mechanic assess the suspension and gearbox condition before committing.
