The appeal
The Discovery 3 comes close to Land Rover perfection, combining the rugged, reliable all-terrain capability of the original models with the comfort and luxury typically associated with Range Rovers. It’s a balance that the brand has never quite achieved as well, either before or since.
It’s easy to see why good examples remain in high demand amongst buyers who need a large, practical and robust 4x4. This 2004 Disco is all of that, plus it features the economical 2.7-litre TDV6 engine mated to a very rare 6-speed manual gearbox. This combination makes it even more reliable and practical. It is in good condition both inside and out, with just a few points to note in the photos.
We’re told it was kept by its first owner until 2022 and that it has a full service history showing regular maintenance. The current MOT is valid until May 2028. A well-presented and very well-equipped Discovery 3.
The seller states:
“It stands out from the rest thanks to its V6 diesel engine and impressive service history. The car drives well.”
