2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · LC16 ADO

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-04-07 MOT at 63,782 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-05-01 and 2024-04-27 also showed passes, while a 2025-05-01 failure at the same mileage was noted but without recorded defects. This suggests no escalating mechanical issues, though the duplicate entry for the same date and mileage raises ambiguity. The vehicle’s maintenance appears consistent, with no critical failures flagged in the last three years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,378 miles annually. The 2023-03-31 test at 49,691 miles and subsequent checks at 54,520, 56,833, and 63,782 miles reveal steady, predictable wear. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the 2025-05-01 failure at 56,833 miles—without defect details—warrants scrutiny. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT record implies no systemic problems, though the lack of detailed failure notes limits full transparency. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in Land Rovers of this era. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as these often manifest without immediate MOT failures. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be confirmed, as corrosion or emissions faults may not always trigger immediate failure. The MOT history suggests no urgent concerns, but physical inspection remains critical for hidden issues.
