2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · CY16 THN

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 83,120 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the previous keeper addressed wear before each annual test and kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show 57,381 miles in June 2021, rising to 61,529 by July 2022, 69,475 by July 2023, 75,066 by August 2024, and 83,120 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The clean sheet across all entries means the DVSA data gives no evidence of deferred consumables or ignored mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. Land Rover Discovery chassis platforms are prone to structural corrosion at chassis outriggers and subframe mounts by this age, and the MOT tester may simply not have flagged early surface rust under the 2025 criteria. Suspension bushes, front lower arms, and air spring integrity warrant hands-on checks given the model's known wear patterns at 83,000 miles. Brake disc thickness and caliper slide movement should be measured, as the records confirm nothing adverse but cannot reveal gradual thinning between tests. Drivetrain oils, transfer case, and differential seals need verification independent of the MOT, since emissions and lighting checks alone do not cover internal mechanical condition on a 2016 diesel SUV.
