What to Look for When Buying a Discovery 4

• Timing chain — check service history and ask about timing chain condition on high mileage examples
• Air suspension — listen for compressor running, check for uneven ride height
• Service history — always insist on documented, stamped service records
• Software updates — ensure latest Terrain Response software is installed
• Rust — check sills and underside, particularly on earlier examples

Discovery 4 vs Discovery 5 — Which Should You Buy?

The Discovery 4 offers significantly better value for money. At £20,000–£30,000 you can buy an excellent, well-specified Discovery 4 HSE that would cost £50,000+ as a Discovery 5. The main sacrifices are infotainment technology and refinement — both significant improvements in the Discovery 5.

For buyers prioritising practicality, capability and value, the Discovery 4 remains the sweet spot of used Discovery ownership.
