That is definitely not overkill, especially for a used Land Rover Discovery. If the seller is rushing you, that’s your biggest warning sign, they might be hiding an expensive electrical or air suspension issue that a standard test drive won’t reveal.

Many independent specialists do travel between Dubai and Abu Dhabi for pre-purchase inspections, or you can have it put on a lift at a dedicated garage there. It’s a small price to pay compared to a massive surprise repair bill.

On a completely different note, if you ever want to bypass the used luxury car headache entirely, the market has some great modern alternatives, like the newly launched chery Q electric car for brand-new peace of mind.
