2010 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · A16 YCV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT re-test. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 October 2025 at 140,149 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable state of operation in recent months. While the history shows intermittent failures in previous years, the ability to pass immediately following those failures suggests the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical or safety faults to maintain legal compliance. At 16 years old with 140,149 miles, this Land Rover Discovery has averaged approximately 8,759 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a heavy SUV of this age. The mileage data shows consistent progression, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,202 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity which often leads to seal degradation and brake corrosion in older luxury vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. Although the specific mechanical causes for those failures are not detailed in the summary, the recurring nature of re-tests often points to wear items such as suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust systems. Given the age and model, a thorough check for structural integrity, specifically around the chassis and rear members, is essential as these vehicles are prone to corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it reaches a critical stage.
