2009 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CX59 DPU

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 221,848 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 3 March 2025 at 205,126 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available record, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards over the past four years. Mileage sits high for a 2009 vehicle at 221,848 recorded miles, averaging roughly 13,050 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation: 162,177 miles in August 2022, 181,960 at the October 2023 pass, 205,126 in March 2025, and 221,848 in March 2026. A one-day gap between the 19 October 2023 fail and 20 October 2023 pass at near-identical mileage (181,956 to 181,960) points to a same-week rectification rather than a serious defect, with no faults listed on either entry. The sparse and clean history gives limited insight into wear on consumables and structural items. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue given the high mileage and 17-year age. Check chassis and underbody structure for corrosion, as Land Rover bodies of this era are prone to rot at chassis outriggers and suspension mounts. Verify the odometer reading against service records to confirm the 16,722-mile gain between March 2025 and March 2026 is genuine. The absence of advisories does not exempt the new owner from a pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain and exhaust emissions systems before committing to purchase.
