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 (N616 LCL) between February 2006 and October 2014.

The record contains 9 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 27 October 2014 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: Lighting (21 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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 wheel bearing has excessive play (2.5.A.3c)”; “Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Rear Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountin”.
