Additional notes
- Vehicle is 15+ years old. Age-related issues: rubber seals/hoses degrade, electrical connectors corrode, suspension bushings wear. Not specific to any engine, but expect €500-1,500/year in age-related maintenance beyond normal service items.
- Diesel car from before 2018 with very low mileage suggests city-only use — DPF is likely clogged or has been removed (illegal). Check DPF status and EGR condition.
- Range Rover Sport diesels are extremely popular in Bulgaria (458+ listings, avg 150k km). After 120k km these develop expensive air suspension failures (€2000-5000 per corner), Ingenium/TDV6 timing chain stretch, DPF issues, and electrical gremlins. Average price €33k hides €5-10k annual maintenance.
- Discovery Sport 2.0 Ingenium diesel is the 'affordable' Land Rover in Bulgaria (363 listings, avg 103k km). After 80k km: timing chain tensioner failures, oil leaks from rear main seal, water ingress in electronics, failing multipoint inspection system. Parts cost 2-3x equivalent BMW/Audi.
