2002 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · DC02 WAZ

The 2002 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 123,202 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 123,202 against an age of roughly 24 years, equating to about 5,133 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle annual accumulation: 115,745 miles in February 2022, rising to 117,092 by February 2023, 118,342 in February 2024, 120,688 in February 2025, and 123,202 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low use for a Discovery of this era often means long standing periods, which can hide corrosion or perished rubber that a static test may not expose. The clean MOT record gives no tester-flagged items for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still inspect underneath for chassis corrosion and axle mounting rot, common on aged Land Rovers even when tests pass. Check the transfer box and drivetrain for leaks after standing. Verify the 123,202 mileage against service books and V5C. The absence of advisories suggests basic upkeep was kept, but low mileage with age warrants a hands-on check of tyres, wiper blades, and brake caliper freedom before purchase.
