Well I've now had my L405 Range Rover for two years and today I'm going to answer the question most people want to know the answer to... has it been reliable?

When I was a kid a car was unreliable when it needed a jump start more than once a week. Now a car is unreliable if a seat massage motor burns out.

We're also much more demanding as a species these days. Back in the 80's you would just get things that broke fixed when it was time for a service. Now we can't go a week without an automatically dimming rear view mirror. I'm as guilty as anyone of this, not judging@@HighPeakAutos

I’m led to believe reliability went massively up with this generation. They’re still out of reach of the masses that will invariably mistreat them and complain that their then 15 year old, formerly £100,000 car has blown an engine after 30,000 miles at full tilt without so much as topping up the screen wash. They’re still in the range of people who follow service schedules, even if they don’t understand why it’s necessary.

I had a brand new BMW M135i for 6 months two years ago and the multimedia screens went blank on the motorway and the airbag light kept coming on for no reason. Also I work for a well known car insurance company and you'd be surprised how many times I have to adjust policies for people who had to take their audis back for issues that "couldn't be resolved". I truly believe people who own German cars are too embarrassed to declare the reality when they are unreliable and are happy to perpetuate the myth that they rarely break down.

I like the white L405 Matt. She’s a beauty, luxury wafter. 👌what a great car. I’ve never had any reliability issues with my rangies in UK 🇬🇧 or New Zealand 🇳🇿 just look after them and serviced them on date, using premium fuel and maintained warranty and I’ve had no issues. I don’t smoke and don’t drink. So rangies are my choice for pleasure and a lovely relaxing drive. I can’t defend the mpg. You know what you’re getting yourself in to. I’m not convinced about the L460 styling either. It’s not for me. Will get another L405 soon in UK 🇬🇧

I have Audi A5 and as you say never left me stranded but all the time something electrical fails. I had an extended warranty for the last 2 years and 70 000miles and it got more than 10k in repairs. Most recent bill I dodged was adblue fix which was 3500 new tank, pump and ECU. some other stuff that was breaking air recirculation flap motor(800), heated mirror(300), cracked front control arm bushes and lower control arm bush at 80k miles(1900), heated seat backrest(500). My point is, all luxury cars are the same and I dont know who is crazy enough to own these without warranty.

Hi mat I completely agree with you for me there’s no other car that makes you feel special I have had my white L322 for ten years now which you have seen in passing,and it’s only let me down twice I followed your advice regarding servicing and gearbox,diff and transfer box fluid change and get it serviced ever year in February i thought I’d buy an L405 spent 3 weeks looking for the spec I wanted did a deal with mine tried to get it insured and was practically laughed at every time I try to get a quote so unfortunately the dealer decided to take his car back and I’m still with my L322 which I still love great to see yours out and about, hope you are well great video as always hope you had an amazing holiday best wishes ian.

I think the boy likes it! Matt’s articulating the struggle ,the sensible amongst us, have in justifying the cost. Unsurprisingly the conclusion is always the same and buyer remorse hits soon after. This, of course, ultimately leads to the mind wandering to the next unjustifiable purchase. Perfect. 👍🏼

Matt, you should try a Volvo XC90 T8 Ultimate (bright). That’s the only car that costs less/the same that is almost up to the level of a Range Rover. I can say it. Love Range Rovers and my mother loves Volvos. Using both, for sure, better than a BMV, Audi or Mercedes.

Wouldn’t have anything else but Range Rover , my velar has never let me down once , off road it’s amazing , on road it’s very comfortable, yes your right , once you’ve owned a Range Rover nothing else seems to come close . The one thing I have learned is 95% of the haters and keyboard warriors have never even sat in a Range Rover never mind owned one .

Hi from Australia Matt. Totally agree with your video. Have had three(‘81 five door and’90 3.9 litre five door) last one was 2001 L322 one owner with full history and invoices. Gave me no problems for two years ( completed a 5500 kilometre trip to central Australia) before requiring a tailgate lock then a compressor for the air suspension. Front driveshaft failed soon after being sold after three years of ownership. Also despite a lot of criticism I found the bmw diesel was a good engine and never gave any trouble. Comfortable long distance car and can carry everything you need. Cheers. Alex.

Great video Matt. I think if everyone reflected on their first 2 years of ownership, it might not have always been plain sailing on any car (except mine 😂). Nice to know you still love it and it's nice to see someone fairly normal in a Range Rover. Before I started watching your videos I thought they were only driven by footballers, their wives, car dealers and landlords... 🤪 I've never sat in a Range Rover and probably never will but now I appreciate them a bit more because of your videos.

I too, bought a low mileage 5.0, it’s now on 36k and running well, no major issues except the rear heater supply pipes which I had replaced about a year ago at my independent LR garage, I had some brake pipes and pads replaced at the same time. During the final service I’d had done at the LR main dealership it was to have included a brake fluid change, without me having mentioned that to the independent garage, they commented on how dirty the brake fluid was! We’ve just returned from a weekend trip to Wales and it’s returned 25mpg throughout, and no diesel rattle to worry about either.
