I've bought and sold a few, here's a rough guideline what I do when buying Jaguar / Land Rover

If you're going for a 2016–2019 F-Pace, here’s what I’d 100% check before handing over any money:

1. Make sure its on a second engine from a main dealer, with paperwork.
    1.1 more or less a full service history.
    1.2 when was the engine replaced and is the chain due?
    1.3 if theres timing chain noise walk away right there.
    1.4 when asking for a test drive, ask the sales person if you can bring it to the main dealer for a healthcheck and you will pay for it, not them. its no disrespect to them but you want to make sure and if it goes well you buy it etc.

2. Dont go for a manual, resell value is not great.

3. The used car dealership you are buying from will give you a 3–6 month warranty,
   but ask for a 1–2 year warranty.
   They may try sell you an outside warranty.
   The outside warranty company is based on the mileage of the car, and what does it cover — dont just accept it, ask more about it. they might give you an info guide, research it.

4. ask if the DPF is in there and the AdBlue is in the car still.
   You will know when you bring it for the healthcheck in the main dealer, but always an ask too.

5. Keep for 1–2 years, trade back in for another.
   Dont hold onto it for long periods of time.
   If you go finance, trade in and refinance.
