2010 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · DA60 NFD

The Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across the last five annual tests. The most recent examination on 22 October 2025 at 192,350 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks including emissions, braking efficiency, and structural integrity. Three prior consecutive passes from 2021 to 2024 show no advisories or failures, indicating the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria each year. Annual mileage averaged roughly 12,000 miles against the 16-year lifespan, a high but consistent figure for a 2010 Land Rover. The records show steady accumulation: 137,068 miles in November 2021 rising to 178,585 by November 2024, then 192,350 by October 2025. No gaps exceed thirteen months between tests, so the history reflects continuous use rather than prolonged storage. Such mileage places above-average load on drivetrain and chassis components for the model age. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories does not certify absence of wear. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil spring, or corrosion notes, yet a Discovery at 192,350 miles will likely carry fatigued front lower arms and worn anti-roll bar links invisible to a pass result. Buyers should physically inspect subframe and chassis outriggers for structural rust, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and verify transfer case and differential oil condition. Given the sparse but unblemished record, the prior keeper appears to have addressed roadworthiness faults before each test. The absence of recurring advisories suggests no worsening mechanical trend. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm underside condition and drivetrain health beyond the scope of the annual examination.
