2018 Land Rover Discovery 2.0L Diesel · 400 ACB

The vehicle achieved a clean pass in August 2025 at 59,856 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable mechanical condition following earlier remedial work. Prior to this, the history shows a pattern of neglect followed by necessary repairs, particularly regarding safety-critical items. The July 2024 failure at 52,117 miles revealed significant issues including significantly weakened seat belt webbing on the rear folding seats and worn front brake pads, yet these were resolved within a month for the subsequent pass. The transition from multiple failures to a defect-free result suggests the current owner addressed the maintenance backlog effectively. Mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical use, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. The odometer progressed from 42,635 miles in November 2023 to 59,856 miles by August 2025, covering roughly 17,200 miles in under two years without suspicious jumps. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not spent extended periods stationary, which is beneficial for diesel particulate filters and suspension components. The current MOT expires in August 2026, leaving nearly two months of validity remaining as of mid-June 2026. Buyers should scrutinise the rear tyres and wheel bearings during a physical inspection. The November 2023 test flagged exposed cords on the inner edges of both rear tyres and slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing, pointing to potential suspension geometry issues or kerbing damage. While the 2024 tests noted thin front brake pads and a nail in a tyre, the 2025 pass confirms these consumables were replaced. The history of seat belt webbing damage on the folding seats requires verification to ensure the repairs were professional and the webbing integrity is fully restored.
