2001 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · CU51 AFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 159,347 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of perfect passes from 2022 through 2026 suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or safety failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the Discovery has covered 13,910 miles, moving from 145,437 to 159,347 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for seals and mechanical components in older Land Rovers. The intervals between tests remain fixed at twelve months, showing a disciplined approach to annual compliance. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Discovery models of this era are prone to significant corrosion, particularly on the rear crossmember, step, and chassis sills, which the MOT does not always catch until it becomes a failure. Since the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or coil springs, the buyer should still check for signs of perished rubber or play in the arms, as these are often the first points of wear on high-mileage four-wheel vehicles.
