2008 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · FM08 FAY

The Discovery shows a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test passed on 15 July 2022 at 196,806 miles with no defects recorded. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 12 July 2022 at the same mileage, yet the record lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The pattern repeats from 2021, where a pass on 23 July at 184,019 miles followed a 16 July failure at 184,018 miles, again with no defects logged. Recorded mileage sits at 196,806 against an 18-year life, averaging roughly 10,934 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The jump from 184,018 miles in July 2021 to 196,806 miles in July 2022 equals 12,788 miles in twelve months, a slightly above-average year but within normal range. The test history is sparse, with only two years of entries supplied and no advisories or defects flagged across any test, so the data gives limited insight into wear patterns on consumables or mechanical components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly on chassis rails and suspension mounting points common to this era of Land Rover. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm freedom from worn suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, or degraded brake discs at near-200,000 miles. Given the twin fail-pass pairs with zero defects, previous owners likely presented the vehicle without resolving a non-mechanical blocker such as paperwork or number plate legibility. The clean record implies basic upkeep was not neglected to the point of flagged wear, but high mileage demands verification of drivetrain condition and exhaust emissions before purchase.
