2010 Land Rover Discovery 5.0L Petrol · RA60 ADU

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 94,054 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 5 July 2024 also passed clean at 132,151 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or failures across the supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over this period. The mileage pattern is anomalous for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance fell from 132,151 miles in July 2024 to 94,054 miles by June 2025, a reduction of 38,097 miles that contradicts normal odometer behaviour and suggests a clocking event, a data transcription error, or a replacement instrument cluster. Annual averages of roughly 5,878 miles implied by the latest figure are low for the model age. Sparse two-entry history limits deeper trend analysis, but both tests are clean. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage through service invoices, V5C history, and diagnostic readouts before purchase. Given the unexplained reversal, inspect the instrument cluster and ECU for tamper evidence. Although no structural corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects appear in the record, a 2010 Land Rover chassis demands hands-on checks for subframe rust, suspension bush degradation, and axle articulation given potential long standing periods implied by low use. Confirm the 2024 to 2025 mileage discrepancy with an independent engineer. The clean MOT outcomes do not exempt the buyer from assessing drivetrain oils, transfer box, and brake disc condition, as these wear irrespective of test results on a vehicle of this age.
