2021 Land Rover Discovery SPT Rdyn HSE Dmhev A 2.0L Diesel · 8 RCM

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until December 2026, following a pass on 5 December 2025 at 39,740 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglect regarding basic consumables, as evidenced by the failure on the most recent test due to a dangerous tyre cut and subsequent advisories for brake wear. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the requirement to rectify a tyre safety issue before certification suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. Annual mileage remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year since its registration. The record shows steady progression from 23,412 miles in January 2024 to the current 39,740 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the consistent accumulation of mileage indicates the vehicle has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally benefits seals and mechanical components. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the front discs and rear pads noted as worn or pitted during the last test. Since these were only flagged as advisories, they likely remain near the end of their service life and will require replacement in the near future. Additionally, check the offside front shock absorber for any signs of worsening oil leaks, as the misting noted in December 2024 may have progressed to weeping or failure. Verify that the current tyres are free of sidewall damage and ensure the registration plates have been corrected to meet legal standards following the 2024 failure.
