2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · CU04 NNR

The Discovery presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 November 2025 at 134,606 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the test one day earlier on 25 November 2025 at 134,600 miles logged a failure with no defects cited, a pattern repeated on 13 October 2022 at 124,659 miles where a fail preceded a pass on the same day. Such same-day fail-and-pass cycles with no recorded faults typically point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect, and no worsening mechanical trend is evident in the data. The recorded mileage of 134,606 against a 2004 build gives an average of roughly 6,118 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2022 pass at 124,659 miles and the October 2023 pass at 129,554 miles the vehicle covered 4,895 miles, then 5,052 miles to the November 2025 test at 134,606. The two-year gap from October 2023 to November 2025 is the longest interval in the record, but annualised mileage stayed within normal range and no rapid accumulation or long-standing dormancy is shown. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear items flagged at any stage. A buyer should still inspect the chassis and suspension bushes in person given the Discovery's age and the model's known susceptibility to structural corrosion at outriggers and chassis rails. The MOT record shows no corrosion or suspension defects, but the absence of advisories across five tests suggests limited scrutiny or light use rather than guaranteed soundness. Check brake discs, calipers, and coil springs for binding or fatigue, and verify the 25 November 2025 failure reason with the DVSA, since a no-defect fail ahead of a clean pass warrants confirmation that no suppressed fault exists.
