Freelander Mk2: K-Series engine (pre-2006) notorious for head gasket failure. Post-2006 Ford-sourced engine more reliable.

Range Rover air suspension: compressor and air spring failures common. Repair £2,000-5,000.

Discovery Mk3/Mk4 EGR valve and DPF issues — carbon buildup causes rough idle.

All models: budget significantly for maintenance. Land Rover parts and labour costs are high.
