We've updated our reliability stats for the LR3 / Discovery to include owner experiences through September 30, 2014.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2008 LR3 / Discovery: 128, high, very small sample size
2007 LR3 / Discovery: 157, high, very small sample size
2006 LR3 / Discovery: 82, moderate
2005 LR3 / Discovery: 38, low, very small sample size

Additional participants always helpful (especially if you see "small sample size" next to the year, or no stat at all).

So, how have these cars been doing lately?

Our reliability stats for the LR3 / Discovery now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2008 LR3 / Discovery: 77, moderate, very small sample size
2007 LR3 / Discovery: 173, high, very small sample size
2006 LR3 / Discovery: 118, high
2005 LR3 / Discovery: 35, low, very small sample size

Next updates in August and in November. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

Our reliability stats for the LR3 / Discovery now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2008 LR3 / Discovery: 69, moderate, very small sample size
2006 LR3 / Discovery: 130, high
2005 LR3 / Discovery: 38, low, very small sample size

If a model year isn't listed, or its sample size is small, then we especially need more owners involved. This would likely also even out the differences among the stats.

Was not aware this existed. Added some data for my LR3. Will add info for my Disco as well.

Not surprised at all that Discos and LR3s are in the "high" category. There are some major repairs that most Disco IIs and LR3s seem to require. My 89' RR was more like a Toyota repair-wise.

 

We've updated our reliability stats for the LR3 / Discovery to include owner experiences through September 30, 2015. Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2008 LR3 / Discovery: 94, high, very small sample size
2006 LR3 / Discovery: 101, high
2005 LR3 / Discovery: 32, low, very small sample size

We'll have further updates in February and in May. With more participants we could provide better stats for these cars. To see how competitors compare, and to sign up to help:

We've updated our reliability stats for the LR3 / Discovery to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2008 LR3 / Discovery: 114, high, very small sample size
2006 LR3 / Discovery: 127, high, small sample size
2005 LR3 / Discovery: 24, low, very small sample size

The difference between the 2005 and the other two is likely due to the small sample sizes. More participants are needed to provide more precise stats for the LR3.
