Service
Just bought a 2015 LR2 with only 18,585 miles. The mileage matches the CarFax report. Oil changed yearly, brake fluid flushed a changed twice and maintenacne inspection performed yearly. Any suggestions as to services that should be done?
I would start with a thorough multi-point inspection before services. Time can be a greater killer than mileage. You might be driving on 11 year-old tires.

Replace coolant, if not documented (there are discussions on this site as to what to use, but OEM or DEXCOOL is fine). I'd probably replace the coolant reservoir too, the level float will fail over time and indicate low coolant when it's not low.
Replace transmission, rear differential, Haldex (AOC) and front PTU fluids. LR OEM schedule does not specify these, but they are very important to do every 50K or sooner. Since it's been 10+ years, I'd replace them even with the low mileage. The driveline is actually Volvo, so many parts and fluids are much cheaper if you shop Volvo vendors (need to research correct part numbers for 2015). Worth noting that Volvo *does* specify mx schedule for these items... LR just expects you to buy a new vehicle when they fail.
Transmission Fluid: AISIN (this is OEM for our transmission, google for correct spec for 2015).
PTU Fluid: OEM (cheaper from Volvo vendors)
Rear Diff Fluid: These are prone to bearing failure, I'd use quality synthetic 80W90, not OEM (I use AMSOIL Severe Gear)
AOC (Haldex) Fluid and Filter: Volvo (available in a kit)
