The 1990 Land Rover Range Rover has an overall defect rate of 236 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the average of 256 defects per 100 vehicles, showing a 7.9% improvement. It performs particularly well in brake issues, with a defect rate of 71.7 compared to the average of 102.4, and in wheels, suspensions, and axles, where its rate is 114.5 against an average of 177.5. However, it has notable challenges with steering, where it exceeds the average defect rate at 38.6, and in body structure and other categories, indicating areas for concern. Additionally, the defect rates tend to increase with mileage, especially evident in the lower mileage category of 0–31,000 miles, where the model exhibits a higher rate of issues compared to the average vehicle. Overall, while the Range Rover shows strengths in certain categories, it faces significant challenges in others.
