2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · HAR 220D

The 2026‑01‑22 MOT at 80,305 miles passed with no defects, confirming the Land Rover Discovery remains roadworthy and the maintenance record demonstrates a stable trend. Earlier testing in January 2022 recorded minor advisory items—pitted rear brake discs and thin pads—but subsequent tests from 2023 to 2026 show no defects, indicating those issues were corrected. Mileage has risen from 30,662 miles in January 2022 to 80,305 miles in January 2026, an average increase of roughly 13,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle and shows no irregular gaps in the annual testing schedule. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear braking system, examining the condition of the discs for pitting or scoring and the pads for remaining thickness, as the 2022 advisory noted thin pads and worn discs. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, and verify that the undertrays have been removed to allow a full view of the chassis for any hidden structural rust. Finally, confirm that any previous advisories were fully remedied, check the overall condition of the drivetrain and exhaust system, and ensure the vehicle’s general mechanical health matches the clean record shown in the subsequent MOTs.
