Default looking to buy 2017 discovery td6

Hello,
i'm new here, and looking to buy a 2017 Land rover discovery TD6 HSE with 76,000KMs (im in canada).

What should I be looking for, looking out for? What would be a deal breaker. This is an expensive vehicle ($45,000 cnd), so I want to be certain that I buy the right one.

I want it because of the space, and it's a diesel.
Any and all help would be much appreciated.
thank you

Make sure it's been maintained properly. Ask if the windshield has been replaced (due to leaking).

Just enjoy it.

Actually the windshield was replaced.

this is being purchased from a non-land rover dealer, they have good reviews. They purchased the car from an auction, and it's had two owners.

The carfax in Canada states that it has been serviced at the dealer in Canada, I can always call the dealer it was serviced at to get the service records.

I have the same vehicle except for US. I would find someone with a LR scanner and see what hidden codes there are. Especially with the DEF system.

I bought one new. Sold my 10 year old LR3 and we really miss all those wonderful cup holders!
Anyway, the Td6b is a fine machine with great torque if you tow trailers, etc..
I had some issues with it needing fuel additives in the winter until they tweaked the programming.
I still have it and will most likely keep it until JLR changes the body style and offers a suitable replacement which is rather unlikely with the advent of hybrids et al..

I bought 2018 for HALF the quoted prices in San Diego, so no corrosion, no paint damages, but with higher mileage.
Mine has >30,000 in options, who I am still learning to use.
As mentioned, scan the vehicle for errors.
