2021 Land Rover Discovery SPT Rdyn SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · EJ70 AEB

The 2026‑07‑03 MOT passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Land Rover Discovery meets current roadworthiness requirements. The tester noted plastic covers obscuring some underside components, but no structural or mechanical failures were identified, indicating a stable maintenance trend since the previous test. Mileage has risen steadily from 27,913 miles at the December 2023 test to 57,677 miles at the July 2026 test, averaging about 11,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a five‑year‑old vehicle. The most rapid increase occurred between June 2024 (31,148 miles) and July 2025 (46,019 miles), a gain of 14,871 miles in roughly eleven months, suggesting intensified use or longer intervals between tests; the 2025 test also included a failure for a non‑functioning fog lamp and tyre wear near the legal limit, followed by a pass after remedial work. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and verify tyre tread depth and wear patterns, especially on the near‑side front and off‑side front inner tyres that repeatedly approached the legal limit. Attention should also be given to the area behind the plastic covers for hidden rust or structural damage, the condition of the exhaust system and emissions, and the functionality of the fog lamp wiring, as these items were flagged in earlier records.
