2021 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynam HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · G5 GLC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward required consumable attention. The most recent test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 45,302 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle met legal standards, the presence of this advisory indicates the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval, necessitating immediate replacement to prevent further failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 27,589 miles and the September 2025 test at 45,302 miles, the vehicle covered 17,713 miles. This represents a significant spike in annual usage compared to the historical average, which explains the accelerated wear noted on the brake components relative to the clean record of the 2024 inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to verify if the rear pads have been replaced and to check the discs for thinning or uneven wear. Given the high mileage over the last year, a thorough check of the air suspension components and bushings is advisable, as these vehicles often experience stress under increased usage cycles. The clean emissions result from 2025 suggests the mild hybrid system is functioning correctly, but the focus should remain on the mechanical wear items flagged by the recent advisory.
