MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Land Rover Discovery (EF05 XAS) between July 2008 and October 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 30 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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: “Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
