I bought my first L200 from new from a main dealer with a very bad reputation, now bankrupt but despite this so far I have had no issues with it apart from a rumbly noise from the gearbox, common fault? I laid it up for about 18 months due to having another vehicle with more seats. I started it after fitting a new battery and it started straight away as if I'd literally just parked it, took it for a MOT and other than some bulbs and cv boots it passed and runs fine. Can't fault it. I have used it in the past for driving hundreds of miles with a car trailer to collect cars. Tows better than any Land Rover Discovery or Freelander. I've used it off road, 4 wheel drive, high low ratios and diff lock gets out of everything I've been through, brilliant. More comfortable than any Defender, drives like a car, handles brilliantly and doesn't wander all over the place like any land Rover I've driven and I've driven a few. As for the 54 reg, I use it every day as it's a double cab and I can fit 5 adults in and get all the bikes in the back. It has 130'000 miles on the clock, enough said.
