Buying Tips for the 2014 Land Rover Discovery Sport (L550)

✓Ingenium diesels (2015+) need 7-10k mile oil changes to avoid catastrophic timing chain stretch.

✓Check the boot floor and front carpets for dampness; panoramic roof drains frequently block.
✓Verify the AdBlue system is fault-free on later Euro 6 models.
