Additional notes
- 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.
- New Defender manuals in Bulgaria (243 listings, avg 132k km) are often ex-fleet or heavy-use vehicles. Ingenium 2.0D reliability concerns plus heavy chassis means accelerated brake/suspension wear. Manual gearbox more reliable than auto but clutch replacement costs €2000+.
