Although not to your brief, I have a 2015 LR DS. Had it for 9 years, now at 68000 miles. It has the Ford 2.2 engine, so not Ingenium and all the issues that come with that engine, apparently.
The car has been very reliable, no issues at all, really. It seems necessary to ensure the battery is well charged and maintained, probably because of all the gismos it powers; a slow tailgate lift is the usual give away about the battery condition, so a quick charge needed. It is still on the original brake pads!
I have always extended the warranty due to press reports about reliability but only made one claim which was for a defunct tailgate lock in the first year of ownership. For several years I have had the car serviced at a local indie.
Wife and I find it comfortable and versatile, plenty of storage space and a good stowage area. We regularly travel from Mid Surrey to West Cornwall and to Cambridge, and it's good for these journeys. I get maybe 38mpg, more on longer journeys.
Perhaps most telling, we have no plans to change this vehicle.
