2021 Land Rover Discovery Sprt Rdyn SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DY71 TZN

The most recent MOT, carried out on 11 September 2025, was passed with a single minor defect – a defective near‑side windscreen wiper blade – which is a straightforward safety‑related item and does not affect the mechanical integrity of the vehicle. The previous test, dated 4 September 2024, also passed but recorded three tyre‑wear advisories on the front and rear axles. Overall the MOT history shows a stable maintenance pattern: no failures have been recorded, and the only recurring theme is tyre wear, indicating that the vehicle has been kept road‑legal but may be approaching the end of the current tyre set’s service life. At five years old the Discovery has logged 52,767 miles, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per annum. This is within the normal range for a family SUV of this class and suggests a balanced usage profile rather than extreme high‑speed or heavy‑load duty. There are no large mileage gaps evident in the record, which implies the vehicle has not spent prolonged periods idle that could exacerbate corrosion or fluid degradation. The moderate annual mileage points to typical wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch (if manual), and suspension components, but not to accelerated fatigue of major drivetrain parts. Prospective buyers should focus on the tyres first. All four tyres were flagged as being close to the legal tread limit and showing edge wear at the last MOT, so a full visual inspection for uneven wear patterns, sidewall cracking, or dry rot is essential. Uneven wear may reveal worn suspension bushes, mis‑aligned steering geometry, or failing rear‑axle components; listen for clunking or creaking when the vehicle is driven over bumps and feel for any pulling to one side. Given the vehicle’s age, even if the tread depth is still acceptable, the rubber may be approaching the ten‑year calendar limit, so replacement with a fresh set is advisable regardless of remaining tread. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust, scoring, or glazing, and test for any pulsation or shudder under braking, which would indicate the need for resurfacing or pad replacement. In addition to the tyres, verify the condition of the battery and the state of all fluid reservoirs. A 2021 model will have a battery that is approaching the typical five‑year service life; a load test or voltage check can confirm remaining capacity, especially if the vehicle has been stored for periods. Check the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid for correct levels and any signs of contamination; calendar‑based fluid changes are recommended even if mileage is modest. Finally, examine the windscreen wiper blades and replace the defective near‑side blade, and give the suspension components – especially the coil springs, shock absorbers and rubber bushings – a thorough visual and tactile inspection for any signs of leakage, corrosion or excessive play. Addressing these items will ensure the Discovery remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy for the next few years.
