2006 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2.7L Diesel

The Discovery presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 15 April 2025 at 98,424 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records reviewed. The April 2025 pass came only four days after a fail on 11 April 2025 at identical mileage, and the same pattern occurred in May 2024 with a fail on 8 May at 93,738 miles followed by a pass on 17 May at 93,768 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded on any test, so the failures were administrative rather than mechanical. Recorded mileage sits at 98,424 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 4,921 miles per year. The car covered 3,500 miles between the May 2023 test at 90,268 miles and the May 2024 test, then just 4,656 miles to the April 2025 pass. Low annual use of this order on a 20-year-old 4x4 often means extended idle periods. The DVSA entries show no gaps longer than twelve months, so the test schedule itself was kept current. Because every test returned no defects, the record gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the vehicle. Land Rovers of this era commonly develop chassis outrigger rust and tired suspension components that a clean MOT does not capture. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence within days at the same garage suggests paperwork or presentation issues rather than neglected mechanics. Previous keepers maintained the test cycle but the twin 2024 and 2025 fails warrant confirmation the correct rectification and not a clerical workaround was applied.
