Description
2011 Land Rover Discovery 4 5. 0 V8 Auto – Rare Petrol V8 – 58, 144 Miles. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest Discovery 4s available, not the usual UK market sluggish diesel, the superb 5. 0 litre V8. This is a Japanese import (v8 not available new to UK customers). The road tax, just £375 a year, ulez and CAZ compliant.
Not as frugal as the 3. 0 v6 diesel, but LRs diesel engine isn't exactly efficient, the cost difference between petrol and diesel at the pumps, plus lower RfL, and other reduced costs you'd need to do more than 5000 miles a year to see any difference. Ignore the monetary factors, the engine is the reason to buy, it's smooth and quiet, not diesel gruff.
My 'Disco' is finished in elegant Zermatt Silver with a black leather 7 seat interior. This car combines effortless V8 performance, genuine seven-seat practicality and legendary Land Rover capability in one package. With just 58, 144 miles recorded, this Japanese-market vehicle was imported to the UK in late 2024 and presents well throughout, having clearly benefitted from careful ownership and maintenance.
Highlights; 5. 0 V8 producing approximately 385bhp, Smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, Zermatt Silver, Black leather interior with brushed aluminium trim, Approximately 58, 144 miles, Seven-seat luxury SUV.

On arrival in the UK, the plastic coolant crossover pipes, timings chains, chain guides and front wishbones were replaced (common failure points for these V8 cars a £5k maintenance item!). The vehicle passed its last MOT with no advisories, further reflecting the condition and maintenance standards.
Many regard the Discovery 4 as the ultimate modern Land Rover, combining traditional Land Rover character with outstanding comfort, practicality and refinement. The naturally aspirated 5. 0 V8 is widely considered the engine of choice, offering smooth, effortless power and a soundtrack that diesel models simply cannot match. Increasingly rare on UK roads, particularly in this specification and at this price, this V8 Discovery represents a fantastic opportunity to own a genuinely special family-sized 4x4 that is equally at home towing (although this one never has, find another Discovery 4 without a tow pack (no worn auto here!)) touring Europe, tackling green lanes or arriving at a country hotel.
My Discovery 4, has never towed, comes with usefully detailed history, and major maintenance work done. There are a few minor age related marks on the bumper corners. I've had the A/ C topped up, the EPB unit replaced, and added android auto & apple carplay, aside from that, nothing more. It starts on the button. The car presents well for its age.
The car comes with its original Japanese book pack, which includes its service history (see example page in pictures), a UK book pack, and Japanese auction house report. Serious buyers only, please. No unaccompanied test drives, and proof of fully comp insurance is needed to drive it. It's 15 years old, and wears its age very well. The next owner will be proud to own it.
