2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · HAM 6R

The 2018 Land Rover Discovery presents a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 70,403 miles returning a pass with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, particularly when compared with earlier years. The last advisory-free test marks a sustained period of consistent upkeep, and there are no recurring faults or escalating mechanical concerns in the file. The mileage progression is steady and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The record shows a clear annual testing pattern: 48,245 miles in July 2021, 51,345 in July 2022, 58,357 in July 2023, 64,667 in July 2024, and 70,403 in July 2025. The increments between tests range from approximately 3,100 to 6,300 miles per year, with the largest jump occurring between mid-2022 and mid-2023. No unusual gaps or sudden drops appear in the data, and the current reading aligns with the recorded service history. The only notable advisory cluster appeared in the July 2021 test at 48,245 miles, when the tester flagged rear brake pads wearing thin and both nearside and offside rear brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring. Crucially, these items do not reappear in subsequent tests, suggesting the rear braking system was addressed and has since remained within acceptable tolerances. Given the Discovery's weight and the typical stress placed on its braking and suspension systems, a buyer should still inspect the rear calipers for any sign of binding, check the condition of all brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The vehicle's age and weight class also warrant a close look at the underside for corrosion, particularly around the subframe, suspension mounting points, and exhaust mounting areas, even though no structural advisories have been recorded.
