ive hit 170k

They are not LR2’s
But same in some ways
I often buy sell and service Volvo XC90’s mostly 3.2 liter
Average miles I buy them at is 170-215.000 miles
I service all the common problem areas then sell to my customers .

I honestly only once bought any kind of 2010 Land Rover and it was in such bad shape that even the auction I bought it from said they were sorry and they would cancel my sale agreement.

Porcschemech1,

Can you take a look at this list and let me know what other items I should be looking at

I almost forgot welcome to Freel2

One thing to note is that most members here are using diesel not petrol

Thanks

Paul

2010 S80 3.2. 125K
2008 LR2 3.2. 115K

Mines clocking on for 165k year 2007

just found out on the Disco4/Disco3 forum that someone is running a 2005 Discovery 3 at 879,000 miles !!! (no thats not typo )
the most thats ever been recorded on MOT advisories is headlight bulbs and its never failed an MOT, latest being October this year.

Can't match that but my 2007 FL2 TD4 is just coming up to 300,000 miles - planning to do the second cam belt/ water pump change in the next couple of months - previously done at 150k.

Other than serviceable items the main work has been clutch (due to the slave cylinder not the clutch itself), steering rack, rear wheel bearing, crank sensor/connectors, boot release. Pretty good going...

There's a storm outside
And the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder
Is closing in
Is closing in

The rain floods gutters
And makes a great sound on concrete

On a flat roof, there's a boy
Leaning against a wall of rain
Aerial held high
Calling "Come on thunder
Come on thunder!"

You sure that’s not a “Highways England” patrol vehicle.....  Regards

might have been in its early days but i think its been in private ownership for a while now. Impressive though

although i have no idea what the owner has spent inbetween MOT to keep it like that, im thinking ''triggers new broom'' scenario

2017 in South Australia Yorke Peninsula I spoke to an owner of a D3 covered in scratches from bush tracks. He had replaced the transmission at 600,000 km & said it will need a new transmission very soon. The car had done over 1,100,000 km. Other than scratches down the sides it looked in pretty good shape. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

My 2011 SD4 had 120K miles on when i recently sold it, it had had its share of problems, power steering oumo x2, new rack etc, and despite 10K oil changes by me was starting to feel old and had a few issues. I never saw better than 37mpg.
I couldn't be bothered with replacing the cambelt so I sold it. I loved the driving experience on and off road but I had lost confidence in its reliability. It was maintained regardless of cost, haldex service every 40K etc.
I dont think of that mileage as high, my Volvo 850 T5 did 200K with no issues and my Ford Galaxy did 220K with no issues. The Freelander had more mechanical problems in 120k and 4 years than both those cars did in 400K miles.
I'm not trying to be negative, I enjoyed driving it more than any car I ever had, but hardly a week went by without some problem, minor or major!

The wife's Fl2 is just about to clock 151k , we've done 42k of those without any real issues other than wear and tear items . We've considered changing it but it really does nothing wrong and doesn't owe us anything , not to mention the 10k+ to swap to one of the last Fl2's manufactured.

Mark 2009 FL2 TD4 SE (Sadly gone)
2007 FL2 TD4 GS (The wifes , gone after 8 great years)
2012 FL2 SD4 SPORT LE(Gone and missing it)
2015 DISCOVERY SPORT 2.2SD4 HSE (Now gone)
2014 Ford Bmax 1.0 ecoboost ( Gone but what next )
2014 Ford Focus 2.0tdci Zetec S (Gone,but what a car)
2020 Ford Fiesta ActiveX 1.0 Ecoboost
2024 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 Tsi SEL

I'm a little over 135,000 at the moment. The only major work I've done is replace the vacuum pump and a wheel bearing, and that same wheel bearing is giving me problems again. Not many places in central Alabama that will touch it when I call and tell them it's a Land Rover.
