LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2018 · 3.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 15 December 2025 at 109,587 miles. This result followed a minor failure in December 2024, which appears to have been rectified within six days to ensure a successful re-test. The transition from a failure to a pass with no recorded defects in the last two consecutive tests indicates that the previous owner was proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements to keep the vehicle to test standards. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage for an eight-year-old Discovery, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per annum. Between December 2022 at 70,203 miles and December 2025 at 109,587 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles in a three-year period. This consistent accumulation suggests the car was likely used for long-distance motorway driving rather than short urban trips. While high mileage typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components, the lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests suggests a robust maintenance schedule has been followed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the air suspension system and lower wisharms, which are high-stress points on this model at this mileage. Although the MOT record does not flag specific structural corrosion or brake issues, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the bushings for tearing and the shock absorbers for any leaks. Given the failure in late 2024, verifying the specific nature of that fault through service records would confirm that it was not a symptom of a larger developing mechanical issue that is likely to return.
