2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · 5 GEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in maintenance standards following several years of stability. While it passed the test on 24 November 2025 at 145,774 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior involving multiple defects. The tester flagged a missing front brake pedal anti-slip provision, an inoperative nearside rear registration plate lamp, and critically worn tyres. The presence of a nearside front wheel bearing with slight play on the pass certificate suggests that mechanical wear is beginning to manifest and was not immediately addressed. At 145,774 miles, this eleven-year-old Land Rover has accumulated high mileage, averaging approximately 13,252 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2022 and 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 13,000 to 13,600 miles annually. However, the rapid jump of 14,036 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025 confirms the vehicle remains in heavy use. This high level of mileage puts significant strain on the complex drivetrain components and air suspension systems typical of this model. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel bearings, as the noted play in the nearside front bearing often precedes total component failure. The failure due to tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges suggests basic consumable maintenance has been neglected, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tread depth and alignment geometry. Given the high mileage and the recent failure regarding the brake pedal anti-slip provision, the integrity of the braking system and electronic sensors should be scrutinized to ensure no underlying mechanical issues have developed from the high annual mileage.
