Due in soon and detailed HD photography on arrival
4.0 V6 Petrol | 69,060 miles | ULEZ & CAZ Compliant | Verified Low Mileage
Overview
This Discovery 3 is a genuine and verified G4 Challenge Edition, factory-designated and correctly presented in original specification. G4 Challenge models were produced by Land Rover to commemorate the Land Rover G4 Challenge, created as the modern successor to the legendary Camel Trophy.
Powered by the 4.0 V6 naturally aspirated petrol engine, this example prioritises smooth delivery, durability, and simpler ownership compared with diesel alternatives, while also offering full ULEZ / Clean Air Zone compliance, making it suitable for urban and city use.
G4 Heritage
The G4 Challenge carried forward the Camel Trophy ethos of endurance, navigation, and extreme-terrain capability, while showcasing Land Rover’s modern four-wheel-drive technology on the Discovery platform. As a factory G4 Challenge Edition, this Discovery 3 sits firmly within Land Rover’s expedition lineage, without later modification or replica conversion.
Engine Development & Reliability
The Discovery 3 is fitted with Land Rover’s 4.0-litre naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine, developed from Ford’s proven V6 architecture and tuned specifically for durability, smooth operation, and low-stress use rather than outright performance.
Being naturally aspirated and chain-driven, with no turbochargers, EGR systems, or diesel emissions hardware, it avoids many of the well-documented issues associated with TDV6 diesel models, including crankshaft failures, turbo and injector problems, EGR faults, and timing-belt servicing requirements. This makes the petrol V6 a dependable and straightforward ownership proposition.
