Was there a year when P322 reliability became acceptable? As in, as reliable as a normal car? I'm not expecting perfection but not a constant nag of nigles with the odd expensive failure

I have a budget of £35k to buy a rr, can get a 2012 for that price. Looking at 4.4 tdv8.

I'm seriously put off by reliability stories though but most of what I read on here and other fora seems to concern older higher milage cars.

I'm looking at ones with under 40k miles on and we do about 8k a year. No interest in petrol as the range and consumption make it too annoying.

Was there a year when they sorted these cars out, when tata / jlr made enough investment to fix the niggles? Was the 8 speed zf box solid or do they still lunch themselves?

We've had a 2012 evoque for 18 months and it's solid but is that cos it's an all new model?

I can't be doing with a car that's always developing annoying faults as our other family car is a porsche 997 and it's too much of a squeeze for 4 of us even juat for emergencies!
