2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · KN02 BEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 19 January 2026 at 75,198 miles which returned with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes over several years, suggesting the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity. The absence of recurring advisories indicates that previous owners likely addressed potential issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns over the years. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the vehicle covered over 55,000 miles in a single year, which is exceptionally high for a Land Rover. However, since the December 2022 test at 205,457 miles, usage has dropped drastically, averaging fewer than 4,000 miles per year. The current figure of 75,198 miles is remarkably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, though the massive discrepancy in the recorded history suggests a potential odometer rollback or a recording error that requires physical verification. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on common Discovery vulnerabilities that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the low annual mileage in recent years, check for perished rubber components, including suspension bushes and brake hoses, which can degrade from age rather than wear. Inspect the chassis for structural rust, particularly around the rear crossmembers and bulkhead, as deep-seated corrosion often hides from quick visual checks. Also, verify fluid leaks from the engine and differential seals, as long periods of standing can lead to seal shrinkage and subsequent weeping.
