Allegation comes amid workshops that are at a “breaking point” due to a parts shortage
The owner of a Range Rover Evoque has accused JLR of repairing her vehicle using secondhand parts, as the company struggles to source new, replacement components for thousands of its customers' cars. As first reported by Car Dealer, a trade publication, around 10,000 customer cars across the UK are awaiting replacement parts, with around 5000 of them off the road at JLR dealerships.
Land Rover dealer uses secondhand parts However, they are backed up by an owner's experience of her four-year-old, diesel-powered Range Rover Evoque which, after it broke down, was repaired by an official Land Rover dealer using secondhand parts. The owner, Laura Brannock, who lives in Castle Douglas, says her car first broke down in April. It was eventually inspected in June by the dealer who told her the new replacement parts it required wouldn't be available until early December.
