What the data shows

The 2018 Range Rover Velar is a stylish SUV, but the 3.0L Ingenium engine has documented timing chain and cooling system issues that can be costly. The recent water pump replacement is a positive sign, but budget about $5,300 for potential timing chain service in the near future. The asking price is in line with market expectations for this mileage.
