2018 Land Rover Discovery 2.0L Diesel · D2 LCK

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 94,460 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the prior three annual examinations. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for an eight-year-old vehicle, rising from 70,998 miles at the June 2022 test to 81,729 by December 2023, then 90,616 in December 2024 and 94,460 a year later. The record shows a single anomaly: two entries dated 13 June 2022 at identical mileage, one a fail and one a pass on the same day, with no defects listed against either. This points to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault, and the sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to corrosion at chassis mounting points. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests previous owners kept the car to a sound standard, but MOT passes alone do not confirm the condition of components not yet at failure threshold. Given the 2025 test sits roughly seven months before today's date, the certificate remains current and the recorded care pattern implies low risk. Prior to purchase, verify the 2022 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA and confirm underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions through a physical appraisal.
