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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Land Rover Discovery (J288 HVK) between September 2006 and August 2008.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
