2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 727 evidence records for the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 61 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Engine15 (24.6%)Official recall records for this system: 7, covering model years 2019–2025.
- Electrical system10 (16.4%)
- Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)5 (8.2%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2024.
- Fuel system4 (6.6%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2018.
- Lights4 (6.6%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2018–2020.
- Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)4 (6.6%)
Other / uncategorized: 13 classifications (21.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (222 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
- Manufacturer communications (3,953 records, model years 2018–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
