BEFORE YOU VIEW
THE L560 CHECKS THAT CHANGE THE BUYING DECISION
An early D300 is a 3.0 TDV6; a 2021-on D300 is a 3.0 Ingenium straight-six MHEV. The 2024 P400e also gains a larger battery and DC rapid charging. Use VIN/build information before selecting checks.
Crankshaft, lubrication and belt evidence decide the risk
D275 and early D300 cars need exact oil history, timing-drive evidence, cold/hot listening and an informed engine assessment—not a generic diesel check.
Connect chain, oil dilution and emissions diagnosis
Read DPF loading/regeneration, EGR and SCR data while assessing chain noise and oil level. D240 also needs its sequential turbo system load-tested.
Charge it and run every propulsion mode
Check battery cells, isolation, charger, inverter and thermal circuits. Test AC charging on all cars and DC rapid charging on the enlarged-battery 2024-on version.
The one-year SV needs its own inspection
The supercharged V8, uprated transfer hardware, active rear differential, large brakes, forged wheels, bespoke air suspension and active exhaust cannot be priced as an ordinary Velar.
Identify Touch Pro Duo versus Pivi Pro
Cold-boot every screen, camera and control, repeat after driving, scan all modules and verify update/account status. The 2024 single-screen layout is another distinct generation.
Measure rather than watching it rise once
Record overnight corner heights, compressor time and pressure response. Adaptive dampers require separate leak, wiring, scan and road-response checks.
Test handles, water paths and aluminium repairs
Cycle every deployable handle repeatedly, lift carpet/boot trim for moisture and reject doubtful repairs to the rivet-bonded aluminium-intensive structure.
Inner tyre wear exposes expensive problems
Inspect all shoulders, wheel runout, bushes, bearings, brakes and tyre circumference. Large wheels can hide cracks and poor geometry behind an impressive exterior.
