2013 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY3.0L Diesel

The vehicle passed the most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 117,158 miles, but numerous advisories were recorded, indicating that while legally roadworthy it is not in a stable condition and the maintenance trend is deteriorating rather than improving. The car, first registered in 2013, has accumulated 117,158 miles, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, the mileage record shows an irregular drop from 177,383 miles in October 2024 to 117,158 miles in October 2025, suggesting a period of low usage or possible odometer discrepancy, and the sparse high‑mileage entries between 2023 and 2024 indicate rapid accumulation over a short interval. Recurring mechanical concerns include persistent thin brake pads (advisory 1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and worn brake discs (1.1.14 (a) (i)), which point to insufficient brake maintenance; repeated tyre defects—cuts, sidewall damage and wear on inner edges—suggest neglect of tyre rotation and alignment. Suspension arm pins and bushes were flagged as worn in 2019 and 2018, while headlamp aim errors recurred from 2017 onward, indicating alignment or suspension issues that should be examined. A prospective buyer should have a qualified technician check brake pad thickness, disc condition and caliper movement, inspect suspension bushes and arm pins for play, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, test headlamp aim and alignment, confirm the presence and condition of a towball/hitch, and look for any signs of structural rust or corrosion that may have been missed in previous tests.
