Disco Sport 2017 buyers advice

Hello all, I'm considering a new car and I've found an option within my budget - a Disco Sport 2017, 2.0 TD4 SE Tech 5dr 7 seat, manual gearbox, with just under 90k miles on the clock.

It sounds good on paper, so I'm going to go out and have a look at it later today. Just wanted to know if there's anything I should be looking out for - any warning signs, any little clues to bigger issues, anything to check specifically. Also any hidden costs likely to hit me?

It's from a dealer so hopefully there's a bit of backup if something did go wrong.

I saw this thread:
but it refers to a different model so I didn't know how much of it applied?

Would be grateful for any advice!

Hi

I wrote that but indeed a different beast , the DS is on coils instead of air like the D3 is

Heard bad things about the ingenium engine

Found this ref the DS


There’s also a DS forum which may also guide u better seeing its a very new landy

Hope that helps

about the engine , have heard the petrols are supposed to be alot better

Forum, think these are the best place to look as at least u don’t get any bias so to speak but straight reviews etc
