I just bought a 2017 SDV6 (Sport HSE Dynamic) with 33,000 miles. We just moved to the UK (from Finland, but I'm American) and I needed a car fast. Had a '98 Disco 2 that I loved that was bulletproof, so bought this one. Perhaps I should have read the forums first. :)

At least that way I will see any increase in engine wear and take proactive measures before any failures. I'd encourage any other owners of these engines to do the same so the testing companies can build a database.
