1998 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT conducted on 5 November 2025 at 163,810 miles. No defects were recorded, indicating the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. While a failure occurred briefly in 27 September 2023 at 155,821 miles, the subsequent pass just two days later suggests the owner was reactive and addressed immediate repair needs rather than allowing a trend of neglect to develop. At 163,810 miles over 28 years, this Land Rover Discovery has significantly lower-than-average mileage, averaging approximately 5,850 miles per year. The data shows 5,000 miles driven between October 2021 and October 2022, and another 2,522 miles between October 2022 and September 2023. This low usage frequency often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can occasionally lead to dry rot tyres, seal degradation, or brake corrosion which the MOT record cannot fully capture. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity points, as vehicles of this age are prone to hidden corrosion that an MOT might miss. Despite the low mileage, the suspension bushes and rubber components should be checked for cracking or perish due to age rather than distance. Since the recent records show no advisories, verify the brake calipers for binding and the exhaust system for pitting to ensure the vehicle remains as consistent as the digital history suggests.
