My mum had a 'reliable' Nissan Qashqai which had endless faults and problems. She got rid of it and went for an 'unreliable' Discovery Sport - the facelift version though - everyone told her she'd have endless problems with it but it's been faultless for the past 3 years, despite the Ingenium engine.

[@Brian-om2hh]

My next door neighbour bought a 64 reg Nissan Qashqai when it was new, and had numerous issues, one of which was the alarm going off at random times.....He kept it for 120k miles or so, then chopped it in for a new one....

I remember the press really slating that 2.2 engine for being too agricultural and saying its out of date needs a more competitive one. That one was the ingenium engine which was mostly praised at the time. Oh the irony😂

Don't remind him the 2.2 is a PSA unit :O

[@paultasker7788]

@khalidacosta7133 lol. I thought it was Ford. PSA do have a good reputation for diesel engines though. The electrics used to fall apart but the engines were tough.

[@khalidacosta7133]

@@paultasker7788 Yep, people look at me weird because I bought a French car for reliability reasons. PSA was best to be avoided between 2000-2006. Strange setup where a VAN-CAN bus translator was used causing lots of issues. After 2005, it was full can bus, after 2008, there are no more electrical issues. I've had zero problems other than an alternator failing at 230k.

Even Matt recommended the 2017 discovery sport, with it's more refined and smoother engine over the agricultural 2.2 original engine, it was 4 years ago so he's probably forgot .

[@isquish]

What a lovely Discovery. This isn't what we come to your channel for! :) Great video - hope the car sells quickly for you :)

[@alastairkeith8553]

Thanks for the video - I’ve owned an Ingenium Disco Sport HSE from new for 7 years and it has been a real workhorse and totally reliable. The key is keeping it serviced regularly at 10k miles not the LR scheduled 20k. I’m planning on keeping it for a long time as it does everything I want it to do. The advantage of the 2lt over the 2.2lt is that it is Euro 6 compliant.

[@thomas05ish]

Small wheels and high profile tyres mean smoother ride and less prone to pothole damage. You’re right the Sport looks really good, the full size Disco looks a bit of a blob compared to it . Great video 😅

We traded in our Fl2 three years ago for a 2.2 DS Hse and it's been brilliant,just had it's belts and waterpump done so it should be good for a good few years. Had the chance of an Hse Lux with the 2.0ltr ingenium when we got ours but wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.

[@rotorhead5006]

Just sold my 2015 2.2 SD4 HSE Lux - apart from one door catch, courtesy of an impatient, heavy-handed customer, it didnt miss a beat in 2.5 yrs and 30k miles. Drove well for an SUV, very comfortable on long run, and got just shy of 50mpg at motorway speed. Even thought about calling Matt when I was gearing up to sell it! 😄

[@zapod20]

I have a 2017 2.0 D180 HSE Lux approaching 70k miles and apart from a minor DPF issue and a worn suspension linkage it’s been great. The robust interior does everything you want, the 7 seat configuration is perfect for shuttling kids around and yes I’ve been properly off road in it. Great car. Just avoid supermarket fuel and change the oil annually and it’ll keep going.

approximately two years ago I used a taxi Co where one driver has a jag with that 2.2 diesel, he still has it but then it was on 180,000 miles and all he did was service the car.. no faults. Similar a neighbour has the 2.2 in a Mondeo from new.. no issues.. he won’t get rid because it’s so reliable and buying new is such a rip off in the UK 😮

[@Valisk]

OMG. This channel just went full circle for me! I first found the channel when I was looking for a Disco Sport, about four years ago, and have been watching since. I bought a 2.2 Disco Sport SE Tech SD4 manual in identical spec. Even has the same OEM towbar. Land Rover pre-registered a load of these in this spec as it was the launch colour and many of them were demonstrators. As it's half way to having a black pack with the mirrors, tailgate trim etc. I decided to complete the look with the additional black pack items and a set of black 20" OEM Aerovipers shod with a fresh set of Pirelli Scorpions. Basically looks like the HSE black pack spec. (the halogens are the only giveaway - and no, I haven't taken the SE SD4 badge off!) I usually keep cars for three years, but I love this thing so much, I'm keeping it for the forseeable, it's been faultless. ...those headlight washers are blanks by the way :)

I had a 2019 Disco Sport Landmark Edition with the Ingenium for about 5,000 miles and 6 months. Half the time I had it was spent at the Land Rover dealer, the other half it spent preparing itself for the Land Rover dealer. I swear nothing quite worked properly on that thing. Everything from chain rattle, to the door pull coming off in my hand. Oh, and it was beautifully maintained too. Bosch wiper blades and Bridgestone tires.... Glad this one's manual, the automatic in mine was the worst transmission I've ever had in a car.
