2007 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · AD07 DLJ

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 123,506 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 15 July 2024 at 119,162 miles. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 28 June 2024 at 119,125 miles that the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has not accumulated advisories across the five-year window, indicating no worsening wear pattern. Mileage sits at a plausible 123,506 for a 2007 vehicle, averaging near 6,500 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 110,851 miles on 27 June 2022, 114,698 on 28 June 2023, and 119,162 by 15 July 2024. The jump to 123,506 by July 2025 reflects lighter running of roughly 4,300 miles in that final year. No standing periods or sudden accumulation are evident, and the sparse but clean history offers little to challenge the odometer narrative. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of chassis corrosion and suspension bushes given the Discovery's age and off-road design. The MOT record flags nothing on brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity, yet nineteen years invite hidden rust at sills and subframes unseen in a test lane. Verify the 28 June 2024 failure paperwork with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, previous owners appear to have kept consumables and emissions within limits. The clean run from 2022 to 2025 implies routine servicing rather than deferred upkeep. Treat the no-defect failure as a clerical anomaly, not evidence of skipped maintenance.
