LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 3 February 2026 at 187,927 miles showed no failures or advisories. This consistent clean record suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to basic safety checks and emissions standards, avoiding the common mechanical or structural failures typically associated with vehicles of this age and mileage. The mileage data reflects a consistent and high-usage pattern, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per annum over the last four years. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 67,222 miles, representing a significant rate of wear at over 16,000 miles per year. This regular accumulation suggests long-distance motorway use rather than short city trips, which often helps prevent components from seizing or carbon buildup. The lack of advisories despite this high mileage indicates that the drivetrain and chassis components have been well-maintained or replaced before reaching critical failure. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components specific to the Discovery model. A buyer must scrutinise the air suspension system for signs of leaking bellows or compressors, as these often fail after the 150,000-mile mark. The suspension bushes and control arms should be checked for perished rubber, as MOT tests only flag for significant structural play. Given the vehicle's age, checking for corrosion on the rear subframe and inspecting the brake lines for cracking is essential to ensure the lack of recorded advisories does not mask underlying degradation.
