Judging by recent quotes, you should be able to get average milage HSE's for almost that sort of money now. Those look a bit high to me? 2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

(Has anybody popped an air spring?)
I have off roaded D3 and Range Rover, we have had RR air springs burst on a few occasions, the local dealer tried to say we had abused the vehicles for this to happen.
Fortunately for me this happened during a visit from Land Rover staff and they were able to verify we had not abused them but off roaded them.
The air springs need to be cleaned before dropping them out of off road mode as they can have debris attached to them which can cause damage when they lower, though I can confirm that these vehicles have done many off road miles in harsh conditions.
