We've updated our reliability stats for the LR4 / Discovery to include owner experiences through the end of 2014.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2012 LR4 / Discovery: 61, high, very small sample size
2011 LR4 / Discovery: 31, low, very small sample size
2010 LR4 / Discovery: 69, high, small sample size

We'll have further updates in May and in August. With decent sample sizes these stats would likely be closer together and vary less from update to update.

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the LR4 / Discovery now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2012 LR4 / Discovery: 62, moderate, very small sample size
2011 LR4 / Discovery: 42, moderate, very small sample size
2010 LR4 / Discovery: 29, low, small sample size

Next updates in August and in November. As suggested by the sample size notes, additional participants would be very helpful.

Our reliability stats for the LR4 / Discovery now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2012 LR4 / Discovery: 72, high, very small sample size
2011 LR4 / Discovery: 40, moderate, small sample size
2010 LR4 / Discovery: 43, low, small sample size

With more participants, we could provide more precise results and cover more model years.

Hey Michael, I traded in my 328GT for a 2011 LR4. I'll register it with you now.

We've updated our reliability stats for the LR4 / Discovery to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2012 LR4 / Discovery: 34, low
2011 LR4 / Discovery: 33, low
2010 LR4 / Discovery: 49, moderate

The sample size was small in all three cases. More participants are needed to provide precise stats for the LR4, for all model years.

Sorry, what about reliability data for 14' and 15' year models? Or are they "too new", still under the manufacturers warranty?

We've updated our reliability stats for the LR4 / Discovery to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2012 LR4 / Discovery: 22, low, small sample size
2011 LR4 / Discovery: 46, moderate, small sample size
2010 LR4 / Discovery: 39, low, very small sample size

Is there a resource for '14+ reliability data- maybe something international if the US numbers are too low?
