Air suspension (compressor, air springs)
usually 100,000–200,000 km · Medium risk
Signs: Suspension warning, the car sits low or drops overnight
Fix: Replace the leaking air spring; a worn compressor usually follows a leak

The Land Rover Range Rover (L405) was built from 2012 to 2021.
For this generation we cover 3 engines and 11 known faults, each with the mileage range where it usually appears.
The most expensive known risk is Crankshaft bearing failure / snapped crankshaft (V6 diesel): it usually appears at 100,000–250,000 km and costs €5,000–12,000 to fix.
In UK roadworthiness tests in 2024, at 100–150 thousand km this model most often failed on: tyres and wheels (5.8 %), suspension (5.1 %), brakes (4.5 %). It fails less often than average on: brakes, suspension, tyres and wheels, lights, wipers and visibility, body and corrosion, exhaust, emissions and leaks.
