The later face lift models get the inline D300 engine which is looking to be a reliable engine in 6 cyl format, very much not in 4 cyl. However earlier facelift models still have the Ford Lion v6 which can snap the crank, we had a 2018 face lift one that did just that at 20k miles MY24 Dynamic SE,MY21 HSE Silver, MY20 SQ7, MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic , MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in ! |

I have had 2 Sports from 2015 and 2019 and have had no problems with either.

Yes, I've had my fair share of main dealer foul-ups. There was a stage when the car would have to go back to rectify something after pretty much every service. Once, the main sump plug wasn't screwed in properly and I ended up having the car trailered from my work car park after the car spewed its oil out in the way in to the office.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that the majority of LR's "reliability issues" are nothing more than poor service by main dealers. If LR got on top of that, they'd climb the reliability indices.

I absolutely agree. Mine's going to be serviced at an independent.

I’m still driving a 2014 L494 with 120k miles on the clock. Apart from the engine self destructing at 80k it’s been very reliable 2014 RRS AB Santorini Black |

My 2014 still going strong touch wood, its currently at 185k, original engine, turbos, manifolds, egrs and gearbox. It had couple of diffs but looks like warranty sorted it (was before ownership).

They don't like short journeys. They're mile-munchers and should be driven accordingly. Driving a handful of miles twice a day is a great way to upset them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I recently picked up a 2019 L494 P525 Auto (5L S/C) which had at the time 16k miles on it from the JLR dealer in Bucks and have been wondering for a while what I should do about it's next service.

I remember reading 2017+ is generally more reliable hence why I shopped for a 2017, not sure if it is true or not but mine has been pretty solid. |
