LAND ROVER DISCOVERY FIRST EDITION TD6 A2017 · 3.0L Diesel

The Discovery First Edition presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 64,398 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 2 November 2024 at 53,339 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults across the available history. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 31,346 miles in August 2022, rising to 42,593 by August 2023, then 53,300 at the failed test on 1 November 2024 and 53,339 the next day on the pass. By December 2025 the odometer read 64,398, giving an average near 7,155 miles per year. The only anomaly is the 1 November 2024 failure at 53,300 miles, which the DVSA entry lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT lineage, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these wear items draw no comment when within tolerance but degrade silently between tests. The 2024 failure with no defects logged warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason code if available, to rule out a paperwork issue versus a concealed rejection. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions have passed at every examination from 2022 to 2025. The low annual mileage implies the TD6 drivetrain has seen light use, though prolonged standing can accelerate corrosion on brake calipers and underbody members. A visual check for structural rust and binding calipers remains sensible before purchase.
