2006 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · AD55 FXF

The Discovery presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 November 2025 at 123,481 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The vehicle cleared its final assessment cleanly after two earlier administrative failures that carried no recorded defects. Recorded mileage sits at 123,481 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 6,174 miles per year and matching typical use for the model age. The odometer moved only 1,081 miles between the October 2023 pass at 122,400 and the October 2024 tests at 123,008, then crept 471 miles further to the November 2025 pass. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods rather than hard drivetrain use. The MOT data itself is sparse, showing clean sheets throughout with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions concerns noted by any tester. The October 2024 failure and the October 2025 failure both list zero defects, indicating the vehicle was rejected on documentation or presentation grounds rather than mechanical condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as the Discovery of this era is prone to subframe and suspension mount rust that a pass with no defects does not rule out. Check the coil springs, steering linkage, and brake calipers for binding or fatigue linked to long idle spells. Given the clean record and minimal mileage, previous keepers appear to have stored the vehicle rather than neglected running repairs. Verify service history and confirm the two failed tests were administrative, not concealed faults, before purchase.
