2012 LR4 HSE LUX 2nd owner currently approaching 154k - purchased right out of warranty from a guy in Malibu. Called LR with VIN for repair history before purchasing. Well maintained, no issues other than a water pump replacement under warranty. That's what I was looking for - no recurring issues.
I've had 3 LR3's, first one purchased in 2007. Disco; this is my first LR4 purchased 5 yrs ago. I've put over 80k miles on it. Driven from CO to Belize and many other trips, but no major off roading (yet!)
Here's what I've done to her:
Regular oil changes
Rotors / tires 2x's & brake fluid
Battery
Windshield
Air filters
I take it to a LandRover specialist and they said it needs:
Timing chain and sprockets
Front control arm bushings
Tires
Everything else looks good, no rust and everything on her works! Even the entertainment system and console cooler.
My husband want to do the work so we're going to give her an overhaul to get us through the next 150k miles without a glitch so we're going to replace:
Timing chain, tensioners, guides, water pump, thermostat, sprockets and spark plugs
Transmission filter & pan
Brake lines
Front Control arms
Flush and replace coolant
replace worn hoses and belts
In my experience if there's been no repetitive issues by this mileage, preventative maintenance should keep her going well into the 300k range.
