A story I've seen for many months on FB, etc, with some companies refusing to insure due to ease of theft |

It should hit second hand prices which will be good for those of us that are happy to take a less-than-new vehicle. A drop in price means the insurance cost will be offset. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

You won’t want it Mikey….my SVR was £645 to insure for 25,000 business miles last year….no changes to me or policy… this year renewal invited at £2460!

I never really understand this (except for maybe young/inexperienced drivers initially). Drivers that "don't hang around" can be far safer than those who "dawdle". I've been driven (once only) by some people who accelerate/decelerate/take corners gently that are a menace to themselves & everyone else. 2006 RRS 2.7 HSE. |

Ah, yes, the old "I've never had an accident but I've seen plenty in front / behind me!" types. |

Is this is a SE England thing? Others have reported much less of an issue in other parts of the country. It's going to be interesting to see whether the Range Rover badge becomes the 2020s version of the old Cosworth badge from the 1980s/90s, in terms of thefts and insurance issues. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

Just out of interest, I went on Compare The Market, asked for fully comp, social and domestic, 10k miles a year for me, clean license, 10+ NCD on a 2021 SVR with a declared value of £90k.

You could be right. 3 customers cars nicked from the main dealer last night, one of them being a 494 ![]()
Not any more ![]() |

0 years NCD, but taking our business NCD into account Largely irrelevant though, as I'd just put it on the company policy ![]() |

With 0 NCD, that price is not bad. I guess being in the frozen north lands helps. My quote with lots of NCD was £700-ish so <£1100 with no NCD is good. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Interesting to see other quotes from similar age/risk as myself.. 494 theft has gone mental in London and the Home Counties in the last six months.. in February 500 Range Rovers were stolen nationally, the majority in the SE, which is why some insurers would prefer to insure a 17 yr old …… so currently it appears I am being rated for living in the SE!
