You are here: Experts > Home/Garden > Auto Repair > Land Rover Repair > To many miles on a disco??
Expert: John Robison - 11/5/2009
Question
I am wanting to buy a used land rover discovery and I found one. It is a 2000 v8. what a beauty! but it has LOTS of miles. 203,00 to be exact.. Wow! Which he says is highway miles. He is the 2nd owner and has had it for 5 yrs.He also has all maintenance records and receipts. My question is obvious. Is this to many miles? how many miles does the average disco get. I know most of it depends on proper maintenance. but everyone knows that a honda will keep going well past 200,00 without alot of work. So what do you think??
Answer
That's pretty high mileage. I'd look it over really carefully to see what kind of care it's received. My own 2004 has 135,000 miles and I expect it will be running just fine at 200k, but the poorly cared for trucks are scrap at 80k.
Good luck
