Hi I am thinking about scratching an itch to have a Land Rover Discovery Sport. Looking at something from 2015/16/17 with 150hp probably 60k miles.
Are there any particular things I need to be wary of and particular weak points. In doing my initial look through the ads I was surprised to see that some of the vehicles are 2WD. Not looking for top level spec just basic level.
Any advice welcome

Thanks for the feedback. I am at the bottom of the price level about 22k Euros.
Not sure if I am just opening myself up to a world of pain by being at the bottom end of the market.

I’m in France near Paris which is why my budget is in Euros. There seem to be a good number of cars on the market. The b pillar clicking noise looks like a shocker. I found an official Land Rover service bulletin that explains all of rhe work that needs doing to rectify 😩
I hope it is the sort of concern that is either there or not and does not appear with time or distance. Do you know if it is possible to find out if the work has been done?
