MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Land Rover Discovery (M294 KOA) between September 2006 and August 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 17 August 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Bodywork (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Suspension rod pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension rod pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced inner sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”.
