Which Land Rover LR4 years should you avoid?
No Land Rover LR4 model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Land Rover LR4 year has 17 complaints on file.
What are the best Land Rover LR4 years?
The Land Rover LR4 years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2014 (12), 2015 (13) and 2010 (16). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
