I almost bought a used Discovery last month without getting it checked because the seller seemed really honest and the car drove fine. But my brother talked me out of it and said I'd be crazy to spend that kind of money without a proper inspection. So I booked a Genuine Land Rover used car inspection report near Al Safa through a mobile service that came to the seller's place. The inspector spent over an hour going through everything, scanning the ECU, checking the air suspension, and looking for any signs of previous accident repair. He found a slow coolant leak and some worn suspension bushings that the seller never mentioned. Nothing catastrophic but enough for me to walk away and keep looking. I'm not saying every inspection will find something, but for me it was the best money I've spent in a while. If you're in the same boat, just get it done because these cars can hide expensive surprises.
