MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Land Rover Discovery (M848 NCG) between May 2006 and June 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 05 June 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (40 issues), Windscreen (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Suspension (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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: “Nearside Front Bumper insecure end cap (6.1.4 (a) (i))”; “Front Prop shaft joint excessively worn rear u/j (6.1.7 (c) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
