2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · DS17 RGY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 2 February 2026 at 70,544 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a stable trend across the previous four tests back to 2021, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures often associated with this model. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between June 2022 (37,741 miles) and May 2024 (60,309 miles), the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the earlier years. However, the 10,235 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2026 tests show a return to a more moderate usage profile, which helps mitigate accelerated wear on drivetrain components and the air suspension. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the air suspension system and rubber bushings, as these components are prone to perishing or leaking regardless of low mileage. The absence of recorded advisories for brake corrosion or exhaust leaks is encouraging, but the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for any hidden surface rust that may not have triggered a standard MOT failure. The data suggests a vehicle that has not been neglected, but the inherent complexity of the Discovery requires a thorough mechanical check.
