2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · KP18 JLU

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 81,499 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the failure recorded in early 2023. While the vehicle previously suffered from tyre-related failures, the most recent inspection suggests that immediate mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed and are currently meeting UK regulatory standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old Land Rover, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 17,897 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, indicating steady annual use over the last year. The short interval between March and September 2023, where only 468 miles were driven, suggests either a period of low activity or a specific reason for the retest, but the overall accumulation is within expected parameters for a heavy-duty SUV of this age. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre geometry during a physical inspection. The September 2024 test flagged a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, and the March 2023 failure noted a nearside front tyre with similar edge wear. These recurring issues often indicate an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes, which are common on the Discovery model. Given the history of multiple tyre cuts and uneven wear, a thorough check of the control arms and ball joints is necessary to ensure no underlying structural wear is causing premature tyre degradation.
