Car lifespans / Land Rover
How long do Land Rover cars last?
Land Rover models average about 155,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The Defender leads at an estimated 180,000 miles, and the Freelander is lowest at 130,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.
Land Rover lifetime miles by model
| Model | Estimated lifetime miles | Model years | Avg. EPA MPG (MPGe for EVs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defender | 180,000 | 2020–2027 | 18 |
| Range Rover | 170,000 | 2000–2027 | 19 |
| Discovery | 160,000 | 2000–2026 | 20 |
| LR4 | 160,000 | 2010–2016 | 15 |
| Evoque | 150,000 | 2020–2021 | 23 |
| LR2 | 150,000 | 2008–2015 | 18 |
| LR3 | 150,000 | 2005–2009 | 14 |
| Freelander | 130,000 | 2002–2005 | 17 |
What the difference is worth
Take two used Land Rovers, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the Defender has 80,000 miles left, or $0.100 per mile. The Freelander has 30,000 left, or $0.267 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
See what a car really costs
Divide a car's price by the miles it has left and you get its cost per remaining mile. The free Carpool extension does this on every car you view on Facebook Marketplace, or you can score one by hand with the calculator.
