Overview

The duality of Land Rover's Range Rover has defied convention for decades. On the one hand a Range Rover can be one of the best four-by-four off-road vehicles money can buy, consistently utilised in the harshest conditions across the globe. But on the other it's also considered a top of the range (no pun intended) luxury SUV, consistently recognised as a benchmark in the sector.

There comes with the later models, like this fourth-gen L405, a real sense of occasion every time you step up to take charge behind the wheel and the commanding driving position combined with a really rather opulent interior makes you feel incredibly special. The fact that you can waft along in comfort and also conquer most terrain away from the black top is what makes these cars so unique.

Produced from 2012 to 2021 before making way for the current fifth-generation L460 Range Rover, the L405 remains an excellent used buy and is lighter, faster, more responsive and better equipped than the outgoing L322 whilst continuing the car's trajectory as a more upmarket option.

Available with a host of engines, from turbo-diesels to supercharged V6s and a 5.0-litre V8 there is ample choice for the discerning Range Rover fan but whichever powerplant you chose you're guaranteed an eminently capable machine.

This 2016 Range Rover Autobiography comes equipped with the 254bhp 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel mated to the standard eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox with permanent four-wheel drive and presents in excellent condition across the board. Featuring Land Rover's Terrain Response system and air suspension the ride remains plush on the road but hugely capable off of it too and the car is packed with a whole host of standard equipment and safety features.

Furnished with full service history and a swathe of supporting invoices the car is reportedly running perfectly with everything working as it should. A long MOT until November 2026 completes the package.
