2010 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · GY10 JYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 with 121,121 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving moving from a period of multiple failures in 2021 to clean sheets in the most recent annual inspections. This shift suggests that the current or a very recent previous owner has addressed the mechanical and electrical issues that were previously flagging the vehicle. At 121,121 miles over 16 years, the Discovery has averaged approximately 7,570 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with gaps of roughly 5,000 to 6,500 miles between tests from 2021 through 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which is often beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and seals, though the high mileage inherent to the Discovery platform remains. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and the condition of the suspension system. The 2021 test flagged corrosion on suspension component mounting areas and both inner sills, and while this was not considered excessive at the time, a close inspection is required to ensure the rust has not progressed into a structural failure. The previous deterioration of the nearside CV boot in 2021 also indicates a need to check all drive shafts for grease leakage or tearing to prevent premature drivetrain damage. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre condition, with defects noted in 2021, 2023, and 2024 regarding nails, perishing, and wear. While these are consumable items, they indicate a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, the buyer should also verify the state of the air suspension and check for binding calipers or fluid leaks, as these are common points of failure on this model that are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
