LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2001 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last three years. Following a single failure in June 2023 at 181,159 miles, the subsequent tests passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues identified at that time were successfully rectified. The most recent test in June 2025 at 195,472 miles confirms the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards without immediate mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 19,951 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 6,650 miles per year during that specific interval. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and brake components, though the high total mileage implies significant cumulative wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. Despite the clean recent history, the age and mileage of this Discovery necessitate a thorough inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. A buyer must scrutinise the chassis for corrosion, particularly in the rear crossmembers and mounting points, where rust often compromises the frame. Given the high recorded mileage, a physical check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these components frequently reach the end of their functional life regardless of whether the vehicle has passed its MOT test.
