2015 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY3.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 97,638 miles showing a pass despite a minor advisory. The tester flagged slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This represents a minor wear item rather than a structural failure, though it indicates the beginning of component degradation in the front suspension assembly. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,876 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 32,998 miles in September 2018 to the current 97,638 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, although the jump between the 2023 test at 57,111 miles and the 2024 test at 66,948 miles shows a slightly higher annual usage of nearly 10,000 miles compared to earlier years. The history reveals specific areas of mechanical interest. In January 2024, the vehicle failed due to severe tyre wear, including exposed cords on the nearside rear tyre, suggesting a period where basic consumable maintenance was neglected. A previous advisory in January 2023 noted a deteriorated propshaft centre bearing rubber surround. While this was passed, it points to potential drivetrain vibration or mounting issues if the component has not been replaced. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components to check for further play in the ball joints and bushes. Given the previous propshaft advisory and the current mileage, a close examination of the drivetrain and universal joints is advisable to ensure no significant play has developed. Finally, verify the current condition of all tyres and brake pads, as the record shows a history of both thin pads in 2019 and critical tyre failure in 2024.
