Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. While the vehi
Prioritise a professional chassis inspection. The April 2026 MOT specifically notes corrosion to both the nearside and offside inner integral body structure (sills), which requires careful evaluation to determine the extent of the rust. You should also verify if the corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2022 and 2023 have been replaced or merely treated.
The 2.7L diesel engine provides the necessary torque for a vehicle of this size but will incur significant fuel costs. As a 2006 model, it falls into a higher tax bracket than modern equivalents, and insurance groups for the Discovery are typically moderate to high.
Carefully inspect the sills and underbody for corrosion, as highlighted in the 2026 MOT record. Examine the rear brake pipes and the rear upper suspension arm bushes, both of which were flagged as worn or corroded in 2022 and 2023. Finally, check the condition of all tyres, as the MOT history shows a consistent trend of tyres being worn close to the legal limit between 2022 and 2025.
This 2006 blue Land Rover Discovery has recorded 261,953 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear and suspension concerns, alongside more serious advisories regarding corrosion to the sills and brake pipes. It presents as a high-use vehicle with evident age-related degradation.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 80.6%, with common failure points including headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.
