2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · AF16 WXE

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 91,009 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for a 2016 vehicle. The tester logged 54,971 miles on 30 March 2022, rising to 65,034 by 30 March 2023, 75,489 by 12 March 2024, 84,819 by 26 March 2025, and 91,009 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse in advisories, showing five consecutive passes and no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. Still, a buyer should not treat the absence of advisories as proof of condition. Land Rover chassis and suspension components are prone to age-related corrosion and worn bushes even when tests pass. On viewing, inspect the subframes, trailing arms, and coil springs for structural rust. Check the brake calipers for free movement and measure disc wear. Verify the transfer case and drivetrain for leaks given the mileage. The record supports a sound purchase, but physical inspection remains essential.
