2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · D8 SHA

The Discovery presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 April 2025 at 110,738 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 April 2023 at 78,207 miles confirms no advisories or faults have entered the official record across the visible history. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern in the data supplied. Annual mileage sits high for a 2018 plate at roughly 13,842 miles per year, with the odometer climbing from 71,969 miles at the 1 May 2022 test to 78,207 by 20 April 2023, then 94,137 at the 26 April 2024 examination, and 110,738 by April 2025. That equates to about 16,000 miles in the final twelve months, above the longer-term average and indicative of sustained motorway or business use. The record is sparse, showing only five entries and a single failed test on 26 April 2024 carrying no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or presentation fault at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the elevated annual mileage and Land Rover's known susceptibility to air suspension wear. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the MOT data does not exempt the chassis from underbody checks, particularly around subframes and mounting points exposed to road salt. The duplicated 26 April 2024 entry, one fail with no defects followed by a pass on the same day and mileage, points to a retest or data anomaly rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a passable standard with no skipped tests, though the high mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain condition that MOT tests alone do not cover.
