2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · 57 SAM

The Discovery presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 75,818 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since the first entry in the history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT testing regime over the past four years. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 41,682 miles at the 3 June 2021 test, rising to 48,842 by 14 May 2022, 56,826 by 31 May 2023, 67,743 by 3 June 2024, and 75,818 by 2 June 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 11,000 miles added each year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail because every test returned a clear pass with no defects noted. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Land Rover Discoveries of this generation are prone to suspension bush wear, front lower arm degradation, and corrosion at chassis mounting points that a pass certificate does not rule out. The tester recorded no brake binding, disc lipping, or exhaust emission concerns, yet these components warrant physical checks given the age. Previous owners clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual statutory testing without deferred repairs. The absence of repeat advisories suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, though MOT cleanliness on a 2018 model does not confirm service history. Verify the stamped service book and inspect underbody structural integrity before purchase.
