Impossible to tell. If it has a full main dealer service history you could assume it would have been done on the 5th service. If it’s been done by Indies or non specialist garages with no paper work you can’t tell. My Indie follows the LR schedule but whether others do I don’t know. If it drives well, no noises, thumps or grinds and you like it enough to to buy it then just do those things as soon a you get it or negotiate with the dealer. Personally, I would do it myself then I know it’s been done. |

By now it should have had 7 services or 8 it’s reg date is early 2014. If it’s had those it’s not something that would put me off, but I would get it done if you buy it, maybe with a discount.

Never trust a dealer history earlier, we had to ask for those items to be done on ours, they just quoted for a oil service. I viewed quite a few with fairly poor main dealer service history in my eyes. Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

On MY18 SDV8, just had the 4Y done, and the Transfer Box and locking diff is now a 4Y change not 5Y. So sometime between MY15 and M18 it was changed (brought forward a Year). Presume it was at Facelift time?

Morning When mine went in for the 5th service at the MD i checked after and all the big jobs were done but on the online service history it just said oil change, it was the last time that it went to an MD as when i was checking what they had done i had to fit the dynamic response fluid reservoir and airfilter box back properly as neither was secured corectly and clean a nice greasy handmark of the rear seat, it now goes to my local Indie who adds every part of the service to the LandRover online history and actualy has the time to discuss the car with me. |

Just to update this a little, thanks to a lot of chasing up by the selling dealer, it transpires that: The 5th service included the dynamic response fluid and the transfer box (I have a print out from the MD), then the locking diff and transfer box (again) were done this year by the indie as a freebie (confirmation in writing by the garage) as the owner had had a lot of other work done there. I now own the car!

Our transfer case oil was done at 60k miles. What do learned forum members advise by way of intervals after that? |
