This 1996 Land Rover Discovery passed its most recent MOT test on 2022-04-15 at 172,778 miles, but with several advisories that suggest ongoing maintenance issues. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with a significant increase in the number of faults reported over the past few years. The vehicle has been flagged for issues such as corroded brake pipes, worn wheel bearings, and excessive corrosion on various body and chassis components. The recorded mileage of 172,778 miles is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light use or long periods of standing. However, the MOT history reveals some notable gaps in maintenance, particularly between 2014 and 2016, during which time the vehicle was driven for approximately 8,000 miles without any recorded tests. There are also some rapid mileage accumulations, such as between 2017 and 2018, where the vehicle gained 1,000 miles in just a few months. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and structural integrity in person. The MOT history highlights recurring issues with wheel bearings, corroded brake pipes, and excessive corrosion on various body and chassis components. The vehicle's underside is also reported to be in a poor corroded condition, suggesting that the buyer should inspect the body and chassis for any signs of rust or damage. Additionally, the buyer should check the power steering system, which has been flagged for seepage and oil leaks on multiple occasions.
