2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · J8 KEF

The 2018 Land Rover Discovery presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 79,494 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across five consecutive MOT tests from April 2022 to October 2025, the vehicle passed every time with zero advisories or failures, indicating a consistent maintenance trend that is neither worsening nor showing hidden degradation. The absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or binding brakes suggests the previous keeper kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,937 miles per year against the recorded 79,494 at the last test, which is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show steady accumulation: 47,151 miles in April 2022, 51,878 by November 2022, then 59,271 in October 2023, 69,305 in October 2024, and 79,494 in October 2025. No irregular gaps or sudden jumps appear; the longest interval between tests was the seven-month gap from April to November 2022, after which the owner settled into an autumn test cycle. The clean sheet across all entries means the DVSA data gives no signal of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The Discovery's air suspension, front lower arms, and rear subframe mounts are known wear points that a basic MOT may not flag until failure is acute. Check brake disc thickness and caliper slide condition, as no tester noted binding or scoring across the record. Inspect chassis outriggers and sill sections for early corrosion even though the tests recorded none. Given the sparse but clean history, treat the verdict as provisional on physical evidence. The records imply disciplined upkeep, yet they cover only tested items on the day. Confirm service stamps, fluid intervals, and tyre age before purchase to close the gap left by five fault-free passes.
