2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · DA17 KVM

The Discovery presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 115,169 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition that satisfied examiners on each occasion. Mileage sat at 40,897 miles for the June 2021 test and rose to 58,833 by May 2022, then 78,771 in May 2023, 96,347 in April 2024, and 115,169 in April 2025. That equates to roughly 17,000 to 19,000 miles added in each of the last three intervals, above the lifetime average of about 12,800 miles per year. The record shows no gaps or standing periods; the odometer advanced steadily and the seller covered high annual distances, typical of a motorway or company-use pattern rather than short urban trips. Because the MOT history carries zero advisories across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion, the paper trail gives no warning of pending wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the air suspension system and chassis mounts, as Discoveries of this era commonly develop leaks and subframe corrosion that a pass with no defects does not preclude. Check the front lower arms and rear trailing bushes for play, and confirm the brake discs are not lipped after the high-mileage use. Given the 115,169 miles and nine-year age, budget for consumables regardless of the clean record. Tyres, wiper blades, and service items will need replacement on use alone. The absent advisories suggest prior owners kept the vehicle test-ready, but the MOT only captures roadside-visible condition on the day, not hidden drivetrain or electronic faults.
