How ULEZ rules apply to the Range Rover
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (81% of Range Rovers tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (15% of Range Rovers tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Hybrid (petrol) (3% of Range Rovers tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Range Rovers from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (18% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Land Rover can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Land Rover Range Rover for London: what the MOT data shows
The Land Rover Range Rovers in this data were first registered between 1986 and 2021. 2013 was the most common year, with 9,451 tests (10% of the total), and half were registered in 2013 or later.
Range Rovers from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 85% of the time, at an average of 57,920 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 73% of the time with 118,200 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Range Rovers likely to comply are from 2016. 5,166 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 82% of the time and averaged 67,119 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Range Rovers likely to comply are from 2006. 1,269 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 68% of the time and averaged 135,453 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Range Rover's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (2.5% of tests) and "pin or bush excessively worn" (2.4%); brakes: "excessively corroded" (2.1%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 11.9% of tests.
Overall, 78% of Range Rovers passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 94,099 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
