2011 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · YE61 AAJ

The 2011 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 at 134,254 miles recording no defects. The prior three tests from 2025-02-20 to 2023-03-14 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2024-03-27 at 116,417 miles is recorded, though no defects were noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technicality. Overall, the vehicle’s mechanical state appears well-maintained, with no recurring faults or escalating issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,950 miles annually. The 2023-03-14 test at 109,433 miles shows a 7,000-mile increase by 2024-03-28, followed by an 8,000-mile rise to 124,779 miles by 2025-02-20, then 9,475 miles to 134,254 by 2026-02-12. These increments suggest regular use without prolonged inactivity, though the 2024-03-27 failure at identical mileage to the subsequent pass remains unexplained. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, reflecting a consistent inspection schedule. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time in older SUVs. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for wear, as does the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, especially in a vehicle of this age. While the MOT record shows no critical defects, the 2024 failure—despite no recorded issues—merits scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’s reliability. Regular maintenance and careful evaluation of high-mileage components are advisable.
