2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · FH16 FWC

The Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at 175,626 miles in the July 2025 test. Every annual examination from July 2021 through July 2025 returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows no advisories, no recurring faults, and no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year window. The odometer climbed from 134,155 miles in July 2021 to 175,626 miles by July 2025. That averages roughly 10,300 miles per year over the recorded period, well below the 17,563 miles per year implied by the vehicle's total life. The sparse five-entry record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or standing gaps; the consistent yearly tests suggest disciplined, light-use ownership rather than neglected high-mileage fleet operation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's ten-year age and 175k mileage. The MOT record flags none of these, but clean tester sheets do not certify component life remaining on a high-mileage Land Rover chassis. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions require physical verification beneath the vehicle. Corrosion around sills and subframes often escapes a pass-level test until perforation occurs. The absence of advisories across five years implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet no history can substitute for measuring actual tyre depth, binding calipers, and drivetrain wear at point of sale.
