They're honestly some of the most dogshit motors on the road.
The company I work for sees a lot of professional country types (landowners, estate managers, etc) and the majority of them won't touch Range Rovers because they are the most bloated, unreliable pieces of excess imaginable. They're the ultimate 'lifestyle' status vehicle for tossers with more money than sense.
People see footballers/royals driving about in them and think "That must be a right good motor, that!", and I suspect the ones that end up keeping them past their 63rd mechanical/electrical fault only do so because they're too proud/egotistical to admit they've made a huge mistake in purchasing a vehicle that instantly lost half its value the moment it drove off the forecourt. Spontaneously bursting into flames is practically a feature at this point.

also one of the most stolen motors in Britain, according to some coppers
Something to do with the value/ease of nicking/ease of fencing ratio that makes thieves target em. Saw a police lockup of what looked like hundreds of them interspersed with other makes, waiting to be destroyed
