2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · DA15 SEY

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 63,231 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's later life. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 24,422 miles at the 17 November 2021 test, rising to 33,665 by 9 November 2022, 41,149 on 11 October 2023, 51,918 on 19 October 2024, and 63,231 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles added each year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA history is sparse on faults, showing no advisories or failures at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the Discovery's known propensity for corrosion at chassis mounting points. The clean MOT sheet offers no evidence of structural rust or binding calipers, but testers often miss early-stage underbody deterioration. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm no private mileage correction occurred between tests. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet physical checks on exhaust emissions hardware and tyre sidewall condition remain prudent before purchase.
