1994 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · D115 COS

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 258,589 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a minor anomaly in 2023. The owner has kept the vehicle to a consistent standard over the past three years with no advisories or failures on the active record. Mileage sits at 258,589 as of the 2025 test, equating to roughly 8,081 miles per year across its 32-year life, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The record shows steady annual use: 237,569 miles in September 2022, 245,877 in September 2023, 253,191 in September 2024, and 258,589 in September 2025. The only irregularity is the failed test on 12 September 2023 at 245,860 miles, just two days before a passing retest at 245,877 miles; the failure listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should still verify structural integrity in person. A 1994 Land Rover Discovery at this mileage is prone to chassis corrosion and suspension bush wear even when the tester records no advisories. Inspect the rear chassis rails, spring hangers, and bulkhead for rust. Check the drivetrain and braking components for age-related degradation not captured by the pass results. Examine brake discs for scoring, confirm no binding calipers, and assess the condition of coil springs and steering joints. The absence of recorded faults implies basic upkeep was maintained, but physical inspection remains essential on a three-decade-old 4x4.
