2014 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · AY54 AFS

As a 3.0L diesel, running costs will be higher than a standard family SUV. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical large-displacement diesel figures. Tax and insurance will likely fall into higher brackets due to the engine size and vehicle weight.

Maintenance costs for a Land Rover of this age and mileage can be substantial. While the MOT history does not show recent advisories, you should budget for potential repairs to suspension components or emissions systems, which are common as these vehicles age. Estimated annual running costs are typically higher than the UK average for small cars.

Pay close attention to the lighting and braking components. While the recent 2024 MOT showed no defects, the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps and brake hoses as top failure reasons. Check that all exterior lights are functioning correctly and that there are no signs of perished or leaking brake lines.

Additionally, inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, which is a noted failure reason for this model type. Check the underbody and wheel arches for any significant rust. Given the 117,588-mile reading, also inspect the suspension for any unusual noises or excessive movement, as heavy-duty SUVs often see wear in these areas over time.
