Asked by Seamus Kay
We are looking at downsizing a little from our Toyota Prado next year and the new Discovery Sport looks good and could competently go to Frasier and Straddie if the opportunity presents. I just wonder if it really is a contender with the build quality issues of Land Rover in the past. I have seen Discos a few years old that have warped and cracked dashboards, trim falling off etc. And, of course, the Prado resale is impressive. Where can I get information on the Land Rover?

4 Sep 2015There was a time when you wouldn’t touch a British brand with a barge pole, they were badly built, poorly engineered, under-developed, and, well … rubbish. But that was then and this is now, and we should put our prejudices to one side. Early Discoverys do tend to look untidy with things like you mention, but they do keep going pretty well over the long term. You would like to think that the issues that have been a problem in the past, like the trim etc., have been fixed. We get little feedback from Disco owners, suggesting they’re a happy bunch. Recent research for an upcoming used-car story paints a positive picture of the reliability of the Disco. The only downside we can see is the cost of servicing and repairs, the same can be said for any European brand.
