2012 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · AF02 TAF

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 133,626 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2023 and 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no escalating faults across the recorded history. The single failure on 11 September 2024 at 121,050 miles is anomalous as the record lists no defects, and the vehicle passed again the same day on re-test, indicating a likely administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,545 miles per year against the vehicle's 2012 build, a typical use rate for a fourteenthyear-old Land Rover. The records show steady accumulation: 106,162 miles at the October 2022 test, 109,699 by September 2023, 121,050 by September 2024, and 133,626 by September 2025. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear. The clean advisory columns across all entries suggest previous owners addressed wear before each test rather than letting consumables degrade to borderline condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, front and rear coil springs, and brake calipers given the model's known propensity for off-road strain at this mileage. The MOT data shows no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but DVSA tests do not strip panels. Examine chassis outriggers and subframe mounts for hidden rust. Verify the 2024 duplicate entry with DVLA to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the history implies disciplined upkeep, and the Discovery requires only standard pre-purchase checks on drivetrain oils and transfer box condition.
