2011 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · AK11 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-02-27 at 141,758 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-02-18 at 141,746 miles resulted in a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests a potential inconsistency in testing or minor issues resolved swiftly. The 2024-06-12 test at 134,490 miles passed without defects, while the prior failure on 2024-06-10 at the same mileage indicates a possible recurring minor fault. The pattern shows stability in recent tests but raises questions about the reliability of earlier assessments. The vehicle’s mileage of 141,758 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 9,451 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. However, the 2024-06-10 and 2024-06-12 tests recorded identical mileages, suggesting either a data entry error or minimal movement between tests. The 2023-06-27 test at 125,217 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 8-month period saw a 9,273-mile increase, which is moderate. The lack of defects in recent tests implies consistent maintenance, though the 2025-02-18 failure without recorded issues warrants scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Land Rovers, and check for corrosion in the underbody, particularly if the vehicle was stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and brake components, including discs and calipers, should be examined for wear, as these are frequent concerns in this model. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the repeated minor issues and mileage anomalies suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity and identify any hidden faults.
