2019 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CF68 AHU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-05 at 154,806 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-02-04 at 154,802 miles showed a failure with no recorded issues, creating an inconsistency. Subsequent tests from 2023-01-06 to 2025-02-06 demonstrate a stable pattern, with no defects noted across 123,655 to 152,651 miles. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in these tests suggests the car has maintained roadworthiness, though the abrupt failure without explanation raises questions about the reliability of the data. The vehicle’s mileage of 154,806 miles over seven years equates to approximately 22,115 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 144,941 miles (2023-12-15) to 152,651 miles (2025-02-06) indicates accelerated wear, particularly on consumables like tyres and brake components. The final 2,155 miles to 154,806 miles, recorded over 12 months, suggests reduced usage, but this may not offset prior high-mileage stress on the drivetrain, suspension, or exhaust system. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, limiting insight into gradual deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can arise from excessive use. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels should also be assessed, as these are common issues in older vehicles with elevated mileage. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the lack of detailed diagnostics means a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
