2013 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · X15 MAD

This Land Rover Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 September 2025 at 78,152 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last several years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 6,012 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 50,186 miles in September 2022 to 78,152 miles by September 2025. A slight anomaly appears in September 2024, where the vehicle failed a test on 2 September at 68,509 miles before passing nine days later at 68,527 miles. While the record lists no specific defects for either entry, the brief gap indicates a rapid rectification of a minor fault. Despite the clean MOT history, the absence of advisories over a three year period is unusual for a vehicle of this age and weight. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these are common failure points for Discoveries that the MOT may not always flag until they become critical. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracks, as the low-defect record does not confirm if these components have been proactively replaced. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and transmission fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals. Since the MOT record shows no issues with brake discs or binding calipers, the focus should remain on long-term structural integrity and the condition of the four-wheel-drive system. The lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained example, but a manual check for slow leaks or perished rubber seals is advised.
