Buying a Rangy? Here's Everything You'll Need to Check and Test!

Buying an Range Rover L322 for the first time can be a bit daunting, but in this video I give a careful overview of the things you need to inspect before laying-down your hard earned cash! While this video is specifically on the MY10-12, many of the things you need to check will be the same across all model years.

i take a look around the outside, showing you areas of concern; on the inside, to show you what things to test; a look under the vehicle, to give you an idea of the kinds of mechanical issues that can happen; and, of course, under the bonnet to show you the kinds of things you need to check for there. The only thing I didn't do was drive it -- and this is something that you will have to do yourself! In the test drive, you must check the usual suspects which are the same (for the most part) as any other vehicle!

This is a pretty exhaustive checklist, so the video is pretty long; however, to aid keeping track, I have placed banners that give specific details of things that you can write down and carry with you. However, there are (obviously) many things I could not include due to space. Feel free to comment if you want more information on a specific element!
