2020 Land Rover Discovery Landmark SD6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · FV20 TPZ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 24 April 2026, was passed but recorded an advisory concerning the near‑side front outer tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. Over the preceding three years the vehicle has consistently passed its annual test, with only this tyre advisory appearing in 2024 and again in 2026, indicating a stable overall maintenance record apart from the recurring tyre wear issue. At 80,782 miles the Discovery Landmark is approximately six years old, giving an average annual mileage of around 13,500 miles. This is above the typical UK average of 7‑10 000 miles per year and suggests a relatively high level of component utilisation. The elevated mileage accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, and can increase the likelihood of fatigue in suspension bushings, coil springs and steering linkages. No significant mileage gaps are evident in the MOT log, so the vehicle appears to have been driven consistently rather than stored for long periods. The recurring tyre advisory points to the near‑side front tyre approaching the minimum tread depth and exhibiting edge wear, a sign that the tyre may have been subjected to mis‑alignment, under‑inflation or uneven loading. A prospective buyer should verify the exact tread depth with a tread depth gauge and inspect the tyre for sidewall cracks, bulges or punctures. During a test drive listen for a hollow or thudding noise from the front left wheel when cornering, and feel for any vibration that could indicate a developing imbalance. If the tyre is within a few millimetres of the legal limit, replacement should be arranged promptly, and a wheel‑alignment checked to prevent premature wear on the new tyre. Beyond the tyre, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough inspection of time‑sensitive items. Examine all four tyres for age‑related cracking, as rubber can perish after six years regardless of tread depth. Check the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion and confirm it holds a charge appropriate to its age, ideally with a load test. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers move freely without sticking. Look for signs of fluid degradation: discoloured or milky engine oil, dark or contaminated coolant, and ensure the transmission and differential fluids have been changed at the manufacturer‑specified intervals. Finally, assess the suspension components—particularly the front and rear bushes, ball joints and shock absorbers—for any play, squeaks or clunks, and confirm that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive corrosion that could affect emissions compliance. A full service history and recent fluid change receipts will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
