2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CX66 MDV

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 20 September 2025 at 132,239 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in September 2024 at 119,929 miles and September 2023 at 110,876 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the observed period. The vehicle has covered roughly 13,224 miles per year against its ten-year age, placing it on the high side for annual use. Mileage advanced from 97,697 at the 20 September 2022 test to 110,876 by 6 September 2023, then to 119,929 by 9 September 2024 and 132,239 by 20 September 2025, reflecting steady yearly accumulation of around 9,000 to 12,000 miles with no dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but uniformly clean, showing no recorded consumable wear items or mechanical defects across the five entries. A failed test on 6 September 2023 at 110,876 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a component fault, and the same-day pass confirms the vehicle was roadworthy. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across all tests suggests previous owners kept the Discovery to a basic pass standard without deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the high mileage and age, and verify the condition of drivetrain components, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions that routine MOT passes do not deeply assess. The clean record implies reasonable upkeep but offers no evidence on wear beneath the test threshold.
