2009 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · CW08 ROV

The Discovery presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 38,022 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime over the past four years. The mileage pattern is striking for a 17-year-old 4x4. Records show 15,911 miles in March 2022, rising only to 16,339 by March 2023 and 16,635 by March 2024. A sharp jump to 17,738 miles followed in November 2024, then a large leap to 38,022 miles by December 2025. The earlier figures suggest long periods of standing or very light local use, with roughly 2,200 miles annually overall. The final year added over 20,000 miles, a marked change from prior dormancy. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low, intermittent use on a 2009 Land Rover invites perished suspension bushes, stagnant brake calipers, and hidden corrosion to structural underbody members even where the tester recorded nothing. The 2025 mileage surge after years of rest means drivetrain seals, differential oils, and coolant may have aged rather than worn normally. Prospective buyers should confirm underside structural integrity, check brake discs for rust scoring, and verify coolant and fluid condition before purchase. The absence of recorded faults reflects test-day condition only; it does not certify the mechanical state of components stressed by the recent high-mileage year.
