2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · A9 HHT

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 32,082 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across every annual examination since 2021. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 18,322 miles in August 2021, rising to 22,766 by August 2022, 25,453 in August 2023, 28,640 in August 2024, and 32,082 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 to 4,400 miles added each year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across all five tests means the DVSA data gives no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion to act on. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free history. Low yearly use paired with long standing periods can conceal perished rubber components, seized calipers, or underbody corrosion not yet visible to the tester. The 2025 test is now near eleven months old relative to today's date, so fresh checks on brake disc thickness, coil springs, and fluid condition remain sensible before purchase. Given the Land Rover's off-road capability and air suspension design, a specialist should confirm the compressor and linkage joints operate without leak or wear. The records imply a careful prior keeper who kept the vehicle lightly used and tested on time, but paper cleanliness does not override hands-on verification of mechanical integrity.
