MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Land Rover Discovery (DY05 VRX) between May 2008 and July 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 19 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Steering (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
