2011 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · H12 SDJ

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 135,471 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 July 2024 at 129,070 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards over the past cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 135,471 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 9,031 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests spans nearly 20 months, with only 3,652 miles added by May 2023 at 124,299 miles, suggesting a period of limited use. From 2023 to 2025 the car covered 11,172 miles, a modest annual rate that points to light private use rather than fleet or commercial duty. The single failure on 8 July 2024 at 129,061 miles carries no recorded defects, with a pass issued the next day at 129,070 miles, implying an administrative or minor rectification rather than a substantive mechanical fault. No corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches appear in the file. The clean record gives no cause to suspect structural or drivetrain neglect from prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the chassis outriggers, rear subframe, and suspension arms given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to underbody corrosion. Verify the 2024 failure paperwork to confirm the nature of the defect. Check brake caliper operation and tyre sidewall condition in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT visibility once past test date.
