LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2011 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 111,519 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of escalating issues between 2023 and 2024. While the vehicle previously struggled with multiple minor failures and advisories, the most recent clean certificate indicates that the previous owner has addressed the pressing mechanical and structural concerns identified in the prior inspections. At 111,519 miles, this fifteen-year-old Land Rover has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap of over 15,000 miles between September 2022 and August 2023, followed by more consistent intervals of roughly 7,300 to 7,400 miles annually. This lower annual mileage suggests the vehicle was not subjected to heavy motorway use, though it can sometimes accelerate the degradation of rubber components and fluids left to sit stationary. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, as the record shows a persistent history of corrosion on the nearside and offside rear integral body structures dating back to 2023. Although the tester noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests active rust progression that will require close monitoring. The braking system also warrants scrutiny; the August 2024 test flagged thin pads and pitted discs on both axles. While these may have been replaced, a physical check of the calipers for binding or uneven wear is necessary. The history also highlights a pattern of neglect regarding tyres, with sidewall damage and cord exposure causing failures in 2023 and advisories in 2024. The current buyer should verify that all fitted tyres are modern and free of structural damage. Given the age of the Discovery, a thorough inspection should also target the air suspension and airbags for leaks, as these are common failure points on this model that do not always appear in standard MOT records until they reach a state.
