2006 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · FM06 WYX

The 2006 Land Rover Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 186,289 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 to January 2025 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,300 miles, typical for a 20-year-old vehicle of this type. The records show steady accumulation: 164,060 miles in January 2023, 170,840 by January 2024, 179,024 in January 2025, and 186,289 in January 2026. A failed test on 22 January 2024 at 170,813 miles was followed seven days later by a pass at 170,840 miles with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting the failure was administrative or resolved without recorded mechanical fault. The data is sparse on specifics but consistently clean. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on chassis members and suspension bushes, as Discovery models of this era are prone to underbody rust and worn trailing arm components not always captured in a pass result. Brake discs, calipers, and coil springs should be physically measured for wear and cracking given the mileage. The clean MOT history implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory compliance current, though absence of advisories at 186,000 miles warrants suspicion that worn consumables were not formally noted. Verify service history and inspect exhaust emissions hardware and drivetrain oil condition before purchase.
