Land Rover certified pre-owned program
To qualify as a CPO, a used Land Rover must pass a 165-point quality inspection, which includes paintwork, an interior touchup, a road test and a full inspection. It must also be under five years old and have fewer than 60,000 miles on its odometer.
All CPO Land Rovers come with one of the following warranties:
- A 1-year/unlimited-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
- A 2-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
The CPO warranty starts after the factory warranty ends. For context, all new Land Rovers come with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.
CPO Land Rover benefits
CPO Land Rovers come with additional benefits, which last for the duration of the CPO warranty. These benefits include:
- 24/7 roadside assistance: This includes flat-tire, dead-battery and lockout services, plus towing to the nearest Land Rover dealer.
- Trip interruption coverage: If your vehicle breaks down due to a reason that’s covered under the warranty, this coverage will provide reimbursement of reasonable costs related to food, lodging and transportation.
How good is Land Rover’s CPO warranty?
Land Rover’s CPO warranty is slightly better than average. Its CPO warranty provides bumper-to-bumper coverage, meaning virtually every part of the car is covered except wear-and-tear components. This is ideal coverage since these vehicles aren’t considered to be the most reliable, and they tend to be more expensive to repair.
Land Rover’s CPO warranty vs. competitors
Land Rover’s CPO warranty is better than what Audi offers, though it’s generally the same as what BMW and Mercedes-Benz offer. However, Lexus and Porsche offer longer coverage terms with unlimited miles.
The table below shows how Land Rover’s warranty compares to some of its competitors.
| Make | CPO bumper-to-bumper warranty |
|---|---|
| Land Rover | 1 year/unlimited miles or 2 years/100,000 miles |
| Audi | 1 year/20,000 miles |
| BMW | 1 year/unlimited miles |
| Lexus | 2 year/unlimited miles |
| Mercedes-Benz | 1 year/unlimited miles |
| Porsche | 2 year/unlimited miles |

How much does a certified pre-owned Land Rover cost?
Certified pre-owned Land Rovers typically cost anywhere from $30,000 to $140,000, though most CPO Land Rovers tend to be under $100,000, according to Land Rover’s website. How much you’ll pay generally depends on the model you choose, its year and mileage, and where the vehicle is located.
In comparison, non-certified pre-owned Land Rovers tend to cost between $20,000 and $120,000. Pre-owned Land Rovers that aren’t certified tend to be thousands of dollars cheaper than CPO Land Rovers, though they won’t come with like-new status or a dealership inspection.
Is a CPO Land Rover worth it?
Generally, it can be worth paying more for a CPO vehicle if the vehicle you’re considering has below-average reliability, the CPO warranty benefits are solid and the price is right.

Customer reviews
Some ConsumersAffairs reviewers have reported issues with their CPO Land Rovers.
For instance, Michael, a reviewer from California, said: “I purchased a certified pre-owned 2013 Range Rover Sport in 2017. In August 2018, after just 65,000 miles, the timing chain failed and it required a full engine replacement. After 6 months of games (including an invoice for [a] $39,000 engine replacement), [the dealer] replaced the engine[.]”
Do you need an extended warranty for your CPO Land Rover?
Extended warranty coverage is theoretically more valuable on an unreliable car because it’s more likely to be put to use. Since Land Rovers are generally considered to be unreliable and expensive to own, getting an extended warranty can be a good idea.
Land Rover extended warranty
Land Rover’s official extended warranty program is called Land Rover Vehicle Service Protection. This plan extends the factory warranty up to seven years or 120,000 miles. Land Rovers must be covered under an existing factory warranty or service contract to be eligible for an extended warranty.
Third-party extended warranty
Alternatively, you may be able to purchase a warranty from a third-party extended warranty company. However, since Land Rovers tend to have a poor reputation for build quality, your options from third-party extended warranty companies might be limited.
