LAND ROVER DISCOVERY1990 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT history shows a failure in August 2013 due to a faulty offside stop lamp and headlamp aim. There is a recurring pattern of brake wear noted in both the failed and passed inspections in 2013, specifically regarding the front brake pads and the nearside rear disc. The trend in the recorded history is not clearly worsening or improving as the issues noted in the 2013 failure were not immediately rectified before the next inspection. The mileage of 216,942 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests typical usage, around 6,026 miles per year. This level of mileage indicates that wear on consumables such as brakes and suspension components is expected given the vehicle's age and usage pattern. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the brake system, paying close attention to the front brake pads and the nearside rear disc for signs of excessive wear. Secondly, given the history of suspension issues noted in the 2011 inspection, a close physical check of the nearside front ball joint is essential. Finally, examine the lights and lamps, as these were specific failure points in the most recent MOT record.
