All my Land Rovers have been my primary daily drive (excluding Motorcycles and work vehicles).
In our household there isn’t a choice of a non-Landy. All of them have been inherently reliable, more so than several of the alternative vehicles we once owned.
It’s all a matter of looking after them, and that applies to all vehicles.
D1/D2 are daily drives for me and adult kids.
After the wife's 'real' daily drive, a Toyota Corolla, broke down she took to driving a Disco for a while. She's bought another 2nd hand Corolla but says the command position is no where as good as the Disco. The birds routinely crap all over the 'new' Corolla - don't get light silver colour.
Funny thing, the mechanic who looked after her original Corolla found out that I was thinking of phasing out her Corolla for a Disco. The mechanic remarked why would you swap the worlds most reliable car (Corolla) for the worlds most unreliable (D1)...a year later after that remark RIP the Corolla.
John Cadogen is an entertainer promoting his own product. He’s a little over animated in that episode. But I get one of his points, that JLR shouldn’t unconditionally market that their product only needs an oil change every 2 years or 34,000km when foreseeably most of the use will be urban resulting in frequent DPF burns and oil dilution.
Tis whole issue stems from the method that LR uses to regenerate the DPF.
I saw an excellent YouTube video some time ago which explained the different methods.
Briefly GM has patented a method using an extra injector on the DPF to regenerate it.
This of course completely sidesteps the oil dilution problem. I also noted on another video that the GM truck DPFs as used in school buses etc are able to be dismantled and cleaned.
I wondered at the time why LR is using what I think is a far inferior method and can only guess that they would have to pay royalties, or just that the engineers are pig headed.

I don't need John Cadogan to tell me not to buy a new LandRover in 2020.
If you do not believe the video, read this thread: INGENIUM 2.0 DIESEL OIL ANALYSIS RESULTS - Discovery Sport Forums
That is the worst oil analysis by a huge margin, I have ever seen. I would not touch one of these engines.
Codogan is hitting an issue hard here. Per normal. Surely LR could sort this with a software update. Is it an issue?
Google John Cadogan Don't buy a Land Rover in 2020. You will readily find his video about alleged DPF issues. As per normal he swears a lot and it isn't fit for young children or adults sensitive to such words and phrases.
Cheers
