MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Land Rover Discovery (EU55 USE) between January 2009 and August 2020.

The record contains 13 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 06 August 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (26 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Bonnet cannot be secured in the closed position (3.1 (b) (i))”; “Central Prop shaft bearing excessively worn Support bearing (6.1.7 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
