Not easy to check while viewing the vehicle.
This problem will only become apparent if the car is left for a day or so.
If there is any documentation, look to see if the First Stage Resistor in the HVAC system has been changed, as a faulty one can cause battery drain so may have been replaced in order to rectify it.
Take someone with you and ask the seller if the vehicle has this problem, as well as any coolant loss, transmission or suspension issues. You can then take it back if it turns out it does.
Good luck!

cheers mate
Will check the documentation, will it be obvious somewhere? or done at a routine service? and if it wasnt done, is it expensive to get done if it needs doing?
Will be taking a friend so if i ask if it has any problems, i have a witness to him mis-selling it to me? Also read a bit about Section 75 for credit card protection too, just in case
Thanks again

Won't show up on service documentation, but the seller may have kept receipts for all work carried out.
Part is c. £40 and is a DIY job to replace. It's up behind the panel in front of the pedals.

Main dealer would probably try to charge you that much.
If you go ahead and buy a Range Rover, find yourself a friendly local Land Rover specialist. They are worth their weight in gold!
