Discovery 3 Advice PLEASE!

I am thinking of buying a Discovery 3 see link below. I went to view it and it looks ok but I noticed it had only been serviced every two years or approx. every 15000 miles is there any problems with this or should have it been done every 12 months?

What else should I be looking for when buying a disc 3?

Any help would be great

Looks smart. Ref servicing, think by the book it should be done every 12 months, but I wouldn't let it put me off buying it if it was a nice one/ reflected in the price and it had receipts etc.

If they have more than one like it says they do, look at another, drive it just so you can compare it to something like for like.

Check all the electrics on it work, electronic park brake, low range, air suspension, make sure it doesn't leak and just generally take it for a good drive
Plenty more on here about what to look for.... But don't want to scare you.

I'd be looking for a good local indy as you'll definately be needing one!

That's a must for any LR owner if you're not willing to get your hands dirty

Of course but as the Disco 3 is a complicated money-pit then this would be more essential than perhaps older Land Rovers!
