Land Rover Approved is the manufacturer's own certified pre-owned program. A vehicle has to pass an inspection, meet age and mileage limits, and then carries a certified warranty on top of whatever factory coverage remains. Every term below comes from Land Rover's own program, so it's the same at any authorized Land Rover retailer.
Land Rover Approved Certified Pre-Owned is Land Rover's factory-backed program for used vehicles sold by authorized retailers. To qualify, a Land Rover must be under five model years old with fewer than 60,000 miles and pass a 165-point inspection. It then carries one of two certified warranty terms, 1 year with unlimited miles or 2 years or 100,000 miles, starting when the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires or, for a vehicle sold as certified 48 to 60 months after its original in-service date on the 1-year/unlimited-mile plan, on the date of sale, with no deductible, 24/7 roadside assistance for the warranty term, and coverage that transfers to the next owner.
These are the program terms Land Rover publishes. They're the same at every authorized retailer, so they're the baseline to compare any used Land Rover against.
| Program element | What Land Rover Approved provides |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Under five model years old and under 60,000 miles |
| Inspection | 165-point multi-point inspection |
| Certified warranty | 1 year with unlimited miles, or 2 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first; the vehicle carries one of the two terms, and mileage counts from its original zero miles |
| When coverage starts | When the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires; for a vehicle sold as certified 48 to 60 months after its original in-service date on the 1-year/unlimited-mile plan, on the date of sale |
| Servicing | The vehicle must be serviced as Land Rover recommends to keep the coverage |
| Deductible | $0 on covered repairs |
| Roadside assistance | 24/7 for the length of the certified warranty, including towing to the nearest Land Rover retailer |
| Trip interruption | Reimbursement for lodging and transportation if a covered breakdown interrupts a trip |
| Transferability | Coverage transfers to the next owner |

Certified coverage doesn't replace the factory warranty. It picks up where it ends, which is why a newer certified Land Rover can carry protection for longer than the certified term alone suggests.
Factory coverage first. Every new Land Rover carries a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. A certified vehicle keeps whatever is left of it.
Certified coverage next. When the factory warranty expires, the Land Rover Approved warranty begins: 1 year with unlimited miles or 2 years or 100,000 miles. A vehicle sold as certified 48 to 60 months after its original in-service date on the 1-year/unlimited-mile plan starts its coverage on the date of sale instead.
It goes with the vehicle. Coverage is transferable, which helps when you sell the vehicle later.
Land Rover groups the 165 points into five stages: paintwork, interior, a complete engine preparation, a road test, and a final technician inspection and sign-off.
The vehicle's history is part of eligibility too: the checklist includes a vehicle history report, and salvage-titled vehicles can't be certified.
Certification answers the questions a used buyer would otherwise have to research alone: has the vehicle been inspected to the manufacturer's standard, and what happens if something covered fails after you buy it. That matters on long Texas drives, where 24/7 roadside assistance for the certified term travels with you from I-35 to the Hill Country. For a side-by-side look at certified and non-certified used vehicles, see our CPO vs used Land Rover comparison.
Range Rovers lose value faster than most vehicles in their first five years, which is exactly why a two- to four-year-old certified example is worth a look: the first owner has absorbed part of the loss, and certification adds the inspection and coverage.
As of October 2026. iSeeCars' 2026 five-year depreciation study puts the Range Rover's average five-year loss at 61.7 percent and the Range Rover Sport's at 58.3 percent, against 41.8 percent for all vehicles. See our Range Rover depreciation guide for the full figures, and our used Range Rover checklist for what to inspect on any pre-owned example.
Shortlist from inventory. Browse pre-owned inventory and ask which vehicles are Land Rover Approved.
Ask for the paperwork. Request the vehicle history report and confirm how much New Vehicle Limited Warranty remains. Ask which certified term the vehicle carries, 1 year with unlimited miles or 2 years or 100,000 miles, and get it in writing.
Value your trade-in. Get an estimate on your current vehicle with the trade-in tool.
Test drive on roads you know. A loop on MoPac and a stretch of the Hill Country tells you more than a lap of the lot.
After the sale, Land Rover Austin's service department works with certified technicians, genuine Land Rover parts and manufacturer diagnostic technology, and offers prepaid maintenance plans.
