2010 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · BJ10 LDF

The Discovery presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 October 2025 at 100,368 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the visible history, though the pattern of a fail followed by a near-immediate pass in two separate years warrants a closer look at test preparation standards rather than the vehicle's underlying condition. Recorded mileage sits at 100,368 against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 6,273 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests show modest annual use: 91,326 miles in October 2023, 95,480 in October 2024, and 100,368 by October 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained drops appear. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate either diligent upkeep or, given the repeated fail-then-pass cycles, correction of undocumented issues between tests. The October 2023 and October 2025 tests each show a fail on 24 and 23 October respectively, both at 91,286 and 100,329 miles, with no defects listed on the failure certificates. This suggests administrative or presentation failures, such as lighting or documentation, rather than mechanical rejection, yet a buyer should confirm the exact refusal reasons from DVSA archives. Given the clean pass records, no suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items were flagged. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity underneath the chassis and check for early corrosion on subframes, as Discos of this era are prone to hidden rot even when MOTs stay clear. Inspect brake calipers for binding after a road test and confirm tyre sidewall condition, since the sparse record gives no consumable-wear history to rely on.
