The 1991 Land Rover Range Rover has an overall defect rate of 224 per 100 vehicles, which is 15% lower than the average car of the same year. Notably, it performs better in categories such as brakes and visibility, with defect rates substantially lower than the average. However, it shows a significantly higher rate of defects in the "Other" category, indicating potential unique issues specific to this model. Mileage trends reveal that vehicles with lower mileage (up to 31,000 miles) experience a higher defect rate compared to averages, suggesting that newer models may face different challenges. Overall, while the Range Rover excels in certain areas, it also has notable weaknesses that should be considered by potential buyers.
