2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · FA18 FGG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 11 June 2025 at 98,510 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of mechanical excellence over the last five years. This suggests a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners likely addressed potential issues before they could trigger an MOT failure or a formal advisory. The mileage pattern indicates a significant increase in usage during the later years of the vehicle's life. Between June 2021 and June 2022, the car covered approximately 19,488 miles, but the rate accelerated further thereafter, with 17,124 miles recorded in 2023 and another 16,129 miles by 2024. This average of over 12,000 miles per year is high for an eight-year-old Land Rover and places considerable demand on heavy-duty components such as the air suspension, drivetrain, and braking assembly. Given the high mileage accumulation, an in-person inspection must focus on the high-wear areas typical of the Discovery at this interval. The buyer should verify the integrity of the air suspension bellows for signs of leaking or sagging, as these components often fatigue near the 100,000-mile mark. Close examination of the brake discs for uneven wear and the suspension arm bushings for tearing is also essential to ensure the increased annual mileage has not accelerated the degradation of the chassis-related components.
