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 1995 Land Rover Discovery (M457 OOM) between May 2006 and January 2015.

The record contains 9 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 20 January 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (30 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Tyres (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 57 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 Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Rear Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounti”.
