Model-level reading

What changes the warranty calculation

177 submitted complaints appear in the Land Rover Discovery file. They stretch across 9 model years, with the middle annual count at 10.

Report volume peaks at 54 for 2017. Without registration counts or equal vehicle age, the peak cannot serve as a defect ranking.

Among the matching repair categories, Engine replacement or major internal repair tops the parts midpoints at $7,000. That is the system I would locate in both the factory warranty and any proposed service contract.

These are ranges across EPA configurations, not the specification of every trim. The VIN and original window sticker settle the exact equipment. Source: FuelEconomy.gov vehicle data, dataset updated 2026-06-16.
