2013 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CB07 ACE

The vehicle maintains a valid roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history reveals a recurring issue regarding inspection transparency. In the most recent test on 21 February 2026 at 105,026 miles, the vehicle initially failed artwork to a non-functional offside stop lamp before this was rectified to secure a pass. The tester noted that undershields are restricting a thorough inspection of the underside, a limitation that persisted across multiple testing years. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between October 2023 at 96,853 miles and March 2025 at 103,944 miles, the car covered roughly 7,100 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. This rate of travel suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which can often mitigate the degradation of rubber seals and fluid-related components. The recurring mention of undershields in every test since 2022 presents a significant barrier to verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and drivetrain. A prospective buyer must demand a physical inspection of the underside to check for corrosion, oil leaks, or suspension wear that the MOT tester could not legally access. Given the age and model, specific deatils should be paid to the air suspension components and structural mounting points, as these are common areas areas hidden by the protective shielding mentioned in the record.
