Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2020 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPT RDYN HSE DMHEV A's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)

Watch out

Short journeys clog the DPF. Replacement costs £1,000-£2,500. Check the DPF warning light and ask about driving patterns.

Turbo Wear
