I did the approximate math on this and estimated I would pay $8,800 over the course of 4 yrs if I did not purchase because the hourly rates are so expensive at the NYC and NJ Land Rover dealerships.
Here is the approximate math if I had not purchased:
$1,289 Wipers plus 21,000 mile (first) service (exact cost pre-taxes)
$1,324 1st rear brake pad/rotors (estimate)
$115 Yr 2 front/rear wiper replacement
$1,324 Front brakes/rotors (approx cost)
$115 Yr 3 front/rear wiper replacement
$1,394 Rear brakes/rotors (approx cost before taxes)
$3,161 2nd service (42,000 mile) plus front brakes/rotors (estimated; includes tax)
$115 Yr 4 front/rear wiper replacement
$8,837 Estimated 4 yr grand total if did not have prepaid maintenance plan

The torque vectoring ate thru the brake pads much more quickly than on my Disco and Defender. After my first service both on the Disco and Defender, I was stunned that they said the brake pads were fine and didn't need replacement. So I am finding that the brake pads do last longer if you don't have the torque vectoring.

On my LR4s and Evoque. I would have already changed the rear brakes once and would be doing a 4 wheel brake change.

The LR4 is HEAVY and the Evoque was sporty (lots of apex to apex driving, using the rears to reduce nose diving and pushing in the corners).

The other reality is that I have become a very poky driver .. with this Defender. Very poky.
