Hello and Welcome,
Depends on lots of things. Can you handle it being off the road if it breaks down while off roading? how may miles do you do daily? do you like luxury, off roaders tend not be the most luxurious. Do you need to keep the inside nice and clean for your workclothes? Road manners on a big tyred 4x4 tend not to be the best, at the end of the day it all depends on how much you are prepared to live with on your daily driver.
Cheers

I would expect you could get 25 to 30 from a modified Disco 2 200tdi . Maybe a little more if driven carefully. Off road mods will only make a small difference.
Any reason why you are getting this 200tdi? 300 tdi's are more plentiful. As with any of these cars, just make sure if you are not sure what you are looking at then take someone along who does and can help check it over.
Off road modified vehicles tend to either belong to someone who thrashes the hell out of it on a weekend and then does nothing in the week, or Someone who spends a lot of time fixing and repairing them to make sure they are up to 100%.

A vehicle with a 5" lift will drive like a pig on the road, and probably off road too.
Strongly suggest you try driving a lifted vehicle before buying one. Rarely needed and many disadvantages.

Sorry, what do you mean by interior options?
also , you may want to change your location to something a little more general.

Oh, also, be aware that a 5 inch lift can be a PITA as a daily driver. imagine trying to get the kids in, climb in yourself.
It makes a big difference to the vehicle and as Turboman says, not necessarily a good one.

Also adverse effects on cornering and braking due to raised COG, and negative impact on fuel economy at speed.

Worth having a look, it may be a corker and you may love it.
There are plenty of others around, so having a look will always be god practice for the future.

Try a standard Disco.
They are a good drive, very useful off road, fuel economy isn't too bad for a big thing.
If after a few years you still want to modify it, it is easy enough, but you can do it in small steps rather than jump straight in with a 5 inch lift.

Appearance will depend on wheel size and bodywork as well as suspension height.
Try and post some pics of any you are interested in for us to have a look. Underside and underbonnet pics too!
