2019 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · KN69 AYD

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-30 recorded two front tyres slightly damaged and worn close to the legal limit, both under section 5.2.3 (d) (ii) and (e). This indicates ongoing tyre wear, with one tyre showing edge wear, which may suggest alignment issues or inconsistent inflation. No brake-related defects were noted in this test, but earlier entries reveal recurring brake pad concerns. A pattern of brake pad wear emerges across multiple MOTs. In 2022-09-01, rear brake pads were "wearing thin" (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), followed by a 2023-08-29 failure due to rear brake pads worn to the wear indicator (1.1.13 (a) (i)). These issues were likely addressed by the 2024-08-27 MOT, which recorded no brake defects, but the 2025 test shows no mention of brake checks, raising questions about their current condition. Suspension components also show wear. The 2024-08-27 MOT noted worn front suspension arm bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)), a non-critical but recurring issue. This suggests potential for increased vibration or handling degradation over time, though no immediate safety risk was flagged. The vehicle’s mileage of 97,393 miles at 7 years old equates to ~13,913 miles annually, which is high for its age.
