Is this the lower tax bracket with its age?
Tried to look up the specs and it appears 290 bhp?
In the real world will the V 8 give 25 mpg on a run please?
We sold our second D3 a year or so ago which was diesel.
Looking for another but this is only for its load lugging capacity not as a daily so 25 mpg when called upon would do. Don’t want to be paying 680/700 for road tax again.
Thanks, John.Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007

Annual road tax for this car is £415.00
Real world consumption is around 21-22 mpg on a run.
Vehicle is in Norfolk.

For what it's worth I can't believe this hasn't been snapped up... I'd love a V8 Disco, they are rare and this looks like a very good one. Just can't justify running two of them
Good luck with the sale!!

Agree... ran one for 5yrs and only sold it due to the pending arrival of a P400 Defender.....which sadly turned up 11.5months late.
