Are Land Rover Expensive to run and maintain?
Fuel consumption, even on the diesel vehicles, is no better than that of a large family car. You will be lucky to see better than 25 mpg in everyday use. However, fuel costs are only part of the story.
Land Rover defenders depreciate (lose value) very slowly compared with most other cars, so you can expect to get more of your money back when you come to sell your Land Rover or trade it in for another one.
There is a fiercely competitive market for spares and accessories, and you will find that many parts are actually cheaper than for even a small car and many parts available on ebay.
Land Rovers are also simple to work on, and DIY routine maintenance is well within the abilities of anyone who has ever assembled an Ikea wardrobe without having too many bits left over.
Land Rover Defender also fall into a low insurance group and even at young age insurance is affordable.
If you can afford to run an ordinary family car, you can afford a Land Rover.
