2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CE55 NAA

This Land Rover Discovery has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 15 January 2026, with no defects recorded at 74,055 miles. The vehicle has passed every subsequent annual test without fail, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards during its most recent ownership. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the past four tests implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity—have not been compromised by neglect or mechanical failure. However, the 2022 test cycle included a rare failure on 8 December at 38,352 miles, followed by an immediate pass the next day at 38,353 miles, which may indicate a minor oversight or temporary issue resolved before the retest. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,700 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps in service or unusually rapid mileage jumps that would suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive driving. The most notable anomaly is the 2022 failure, which occurred just before the 40,000-mile mark—a common threshold for wear items in SUVs. The subsequent pass the following day at identical mileage suggests the issue was trivial, likely a minor administrative or sensor-related hiccup rather than a mechanical concern. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often fail without pre-warning. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as SUVs of this age are prone to bush deterioration and binding calipers. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven braking or a metallic scraping noise. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is another critical area; rust can compromise the vehicle’s rigidity and handling without immediately failing an MOT. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are common in older diesel models. The lack of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these components are flawless, but it does indicate they have not yet reached a critical failure point.
