LAND ROVER DISCOVERY2001 · 2.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in July 2025 with 157,067 miles. This result indicates a stable trend in mechanical maintenance following a period of instability in early 2024. While the vehicle suffered two failures in March 2024, the subsequent clean passes with no recorded defects suggest that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of twenty-five years, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between the March 2023 test at 144,624 miles and the March 2024 test at 151,206 miles, the vehicle covered 6,582 miles. The subsequent interval of 5,861 miles between March 2024 and July 2025 shows a regular, moderate usage profile. This consistent operation is generally beneficial for older components as it prevents the seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis rails, as vehicles of this era are prone to significant corrosion that may not always manifest during standard testing. Despite the recent clean records, the two failures in early 2024 necessitate a close look at the suspension bushings and brake lines for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber. Given the age and mileage, the condition of the rubber components and the state of the exhaust system remain critical to ensuring the vehicle is not nearing another major mechanical failure.
