2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · DJ05 ALS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of developing wear in suspension and artwork components. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 88,380 miles noted an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven pressure that requires immediate attention to prevent further degradation of the tyre and ensure safe handling. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There was a significant gap of over 8,500 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, followed by an 11,000-mile increase between October 2024 and November 2025. This suggests the vehicle has been subjected to varying usage, which can sometimes lead to the hardening of rubber-based components despite relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the 2024 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. While these did not result in a failure at the time, they represent a known area of wear that will likely require replacement soon. Close attention should be paid to the front end geometry to determine if the edge wear on the nearside tyre is an isolated incident or a symptom of wider mechanical misalignment.
