2010 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · JO07 ANA

The 2025‑10‑20 MOT at 153,671 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance record shows a stable trend, as the only failures noted in 2024 were corrected before the subsequent 2025 test, and no new advisories have appeared since the 2023‑10‑16 pass. Mileage has risen from 44,507 miles in February 2015 to 153,671 miles by October 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 9,600 miles, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Land Rover Discovery. The progression is largely continuous, with the jump from 142,184 miles in October 2023 to 147,652 miles in October 2024 representing an accumulation of 5,468 miles in one year, higher than the long‑term average but not indicative of abnormal neglect. No extended periods of inactivity are evident in the log. A buyer should therefore inspect the drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boots for cracks or deterioration, as the 2024 failure suggests possible suspension wear; examine the front brake pads, discs and calipers for excessive wear or binding, and verify the condition of the rear brake pipes, which have shown corrosion since 2020. The minor exhaust leak recorded in 2024 warrants a check of the exhaust system for rust and secure mounting, while the previous headlamp failure on the 2024 test calls for verification of the dipping‑beam wiring and lamp assembly. Finally, assess the structural integrity of the centre cover sills and underbody for rust, and confirm tyre condition and alignment, given the history of uneven wear and a torn tyre in 2015.
