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!

Thanks all, you've been most helpful. I'm not going to go ahead with the one I looked at - mostly seemed ok and fair priced but wasn't as tidy as I'd hoped, and also was a bit surprised to see some rust around the seat mountings. Wouldn't have been surprised on an older car but for a 17 plate I don't think I'd expect interior parts to be rusting yet.

Overall it seemed a good option so I'm looking at a few similar models elsewhere. The Ingenium engine seems to be predominant unfortunately, as the reports indicate that they have a habit of developing problems. Bit of a gamble I guess but apart from that the sports generally seem sound.
