LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2015 · 3.0L Diesel

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 82,285 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 4 October 2024 at 77,309 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. Mileage has accumulated at a near-typical rate for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 65,277 miles at the 11 October 2022 test, rising to 72,083 by 29 September 2023, then 77,306 at the failed 3 October 2024 attempt and 77,309 the next day on retest, reaching 82,285 by October 2025. Annual use has held around 5,000 to 5,200 miles, below the rough 7,480-mile yearly average, suggesting lighter motoring rather than hard use. The single failure on 3 October 2024 carries no listed defect, which points to an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate pass 24 hours later at virtually identical mileage. The absence of recorded advisories across all five tests means the official record shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A clean history of this kind implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though MOT cleanliness does not confirm component condition between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the chassis and suspension before purchase. Land Rover Discovery models of this era are prone to subframe corrosion and failing rear suspension air springs, neither of which the MOT entries have surfaced. Verify brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall condition, and underbody rust at 82,285 miles, since the record offers no evidence of these items being examined in depth beyond the standard test scope.
