2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · TS61 ANT

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 75,862 miles which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained clean passes in three out of the last four inspections. The absence of failures in the latest test suggests that the immediate mechanical and structural requirements are currently meeting DVSA safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a Land Rover Discovery, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 35,887 miles and May 2024 at 57,850 miles, the vehicle covered 21,963 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The more recent interval of 8,090 miles between May 2025 and March 2026 indicates continued regular use without the long periods of stationary time that often lead to rubber degradation or fluid ingress. A single point of concern appeared during the 6 May 2025 test at 67,772 miles, where the nearside front tyre was flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. While this was resolved before the subsequent test, uneven edge wear often indicates alignment issues or premature wear of suspension components. A buyer should inspect the current tyres for similar irregular wear patterns and verify the condition of the front suspension arm bushes to ensure no underlying mechanical faults persist. Given the age and model, an in-person inspection should focus on the integrity of the air suspension system and bushings, which are common failure points on this chassis. The MOT record does not show recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, but the buyer should check for leaks or rust on the undercarriage. The clean recent history suggests an owner who addressed minor consumable items rather than allowing neglect to escalate.
