2012 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · AN03 LES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 171,374 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where multiple mechanical advisories were common. While the history shows a pattern of wear and tear, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the accumulating mechanical issues identified in the preceding tests. At 14 years old, this Discovery has covered a significant mileage of 171,374 miles, averaging approximately 12,241 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 13,400 miles recorded between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 12,100 miles in the year prior. This high consistent usage indicates the vehicle has been used regularly for long distances which naturally accelerates the degradation of heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain components rather than suggesting periods of neglect. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as worn suspension arm pins and bushes were flagged in almost every annual test from 2021 through 2024. The 2023 report also noted corroded brake pipes and a severely deteriorated CV boot, which require close visual inspection to ensure no fluid leaks or structural thinning has occurred. Given the mention of underside corrosion in 2023, a thorough physical check of the chassis and structural mounting points is essential to confirm that the rust has not progressed beyond surface level.
