2007 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · DE07 NAA

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 185,112 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 October 2024 at 176,268 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories. This indicates the current keeper has addressed any issues promptly and the mechanical condition has not deteriorated across the recorded period. Annual mileage has tracked close to the class average for a 19-year-old 4x4. The record shows 161,474 miles on 13 September 2023, rising to 176,185 miles by 27 September 2024 and 185,112 miles by September 2025, equating to roughly 9,700 to 9,800 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, listing only two failed tests with no defects recorded and three passes, so the history offers little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion beyond the bare outcomes. The two failures on 13 September 2023 and 27 September 2024 at 161,474 and 176,185 miles respectively carry no recorded defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the chassis outriggers, rear crossmember, and suspension bushes, as rot and worn arms are common on this era of Discovery and would not surface on a defect-free MOT sheet. Given the age and 185,112 miles, examine brake discs, calipers, and front coil springs for fatigue, and verify the transfer box and differential oils have been changed. The clean record implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the absence of advisories across nineteen years is unusual for a Land Rover of this vintage and warrants physical confirmation of structural integrity before purchase.
