Almost four years after Ford's acquisition of Land Rover from BMW in April of 2004 that Land Rover introduced the Discovery 3. This was the first major update for the Discovery name since 1989 and it was well deserved; whilst being an entirely new car it retained the key features of the Discovery, such as the stepped roofline and steeply raked windscreen. This generation of Discovery also introduced air suspension which allowed for greater comfort both on and off-road, along with the ability to change the car's ride height at the flick of a switch, an ideal feature when wanting to enter an underground car park or when traversing rocky terrain.
First registered on 19th March 2008 and with only two former keepers, this TDV6 HSE specified example of the Discovery 3, a 6-speed auto, displays just under 95,000 miles on the odometer. Our vendor has owned the car since late 2021 and is now selling it as he doesn’t use it as often as he used to. A pleasingly standard, well-maintained and usable example, the Discovery has been very well maintained in current ownership and evidently, from the invoice trail, prior to this.
In its life, important works have included a gearbox, diff and transfer box service at 80,815 miles, cambelts at 79,211 miles and attention to the air suspension and braking system, with much regular expenditure. It was recently the subject of a service (September 2024) by PJS, Essex, who have been looking after the maintenance of the Discovery in current ownership. The accompanying service record has 10 entries, with the majority of servicing, as with much of the previous mechanical work, entrusted to independent specialists Town and Country. It is offered with a collection of invoices for works by independent specialists, the service record booklet and a current V5C Registration Document.
