Summary

Common Problem

TL;DR
The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport is known for issues with its electronics, engine components like timing chains and DPFs, and general reliability concerns. Owners often recommend regular maintenance and warranty coverage to mitigate potential problems.
Engine and Mechanical Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned mechanical issues with the 2017 Discovery Sport is related to the Ingenium engine, particularly in diesel models. Common problems include stretched timing chains, blocked EGR coolers, and full DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters). The oil contamination issue due to fuel leakage during DPF regeneration is another concern that can degrade engine oil quality. It’s advised to change the oil more frequently than the recommended 21,000 miles interval to avoid these issues.
Electronic and Infotainment System Glitches
Electronics are a recurring problem across many Land Rover models, including the Discovery Sport. Users have reported issues such as faulty electronic brakes, infotainment system glitches, and problems with the navigation system ,. These issues can be frustrating and sometimes require significant time and cost to resolve, especially if they occur outside of warranty periods.
Build Quality and Component Failures
Other common problems include water pump leaks, cracked coolant hoses, and exhaust cracks. The electronic handbrake is also prone to failure due to water ingress. Some owners have experienced issues with the vehicle's weight affecting brake wear, which can lead to frequent replacements.
General Reliability Concerns
The Discovery Sport, like many Land Rovers, has a mixed reputation for reliability. While some owners report relatively trouble-free experiences, others encounter a series of minor and major issues ,. It's important to adhere strictly to maintenance schedules and consider an extended warranty for peace of mind.
Conclusion
If you’re considering purchasing a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport, it’s crucial to weigh the potential for these common problems against the vehicle’s features and driving experience. Regular maintenance and possibly opting for a model with a comprehensive warranty can help manage the risks associated with ownership.
