2003 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · 40 AKH

The vehicle achieved a PASS on its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 147 552 mi, with no defects recorded. The preceding five tests also returned PASS outcomes, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating condition. Mileage accumulation shows a consistent rise of roughly 11 000–15 000 mi per year, which exceeds the typical 6 000 mi annual average for a 23‑year‑old Discovery. The interval between the 2024‑01‑03 test (120 965 mi) and the 2025‑01‑08 test (132 403 mi) added 11 438 mi in twelve months, while the final year added 15 149 mi in eleven months. A notable gap exists between the 2022‑12‑09 test (109 872 mi) and the 2024‑01‑03 test, suggesting a period without recorded MOT activity. Because the MOT history is clean, there are no recurring faults to highlight. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and pads for uneven thickness, and check the exhaust for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and condition are essential consumables; also assess under‑body rust and structural panels for age‑related corrosion. Verify that the service record aligns with the mileage jumps, particularly the high annual mileage in 2025, to gauge whether routine maintenance was performed. Overall, the vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with recent certification. The high mileage rate and the missing 2023 MOT entry warrant a thorough pre‑purchase inspection to confirm that mechanical and structural components have been adequately maintained despite the clean test history.
