2021 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynam HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · KS21 FUD

The Discovery presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT in January 2026 at 36,710 miles passed cleanly with zero defects, indicating all major structural, mechanical, and emissions systems are currently compliant. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring or worsening faults across the three recorded tests. At roughly 7,342 miles per year, the mileage accumulation is typical for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows consistent annual intervals: 21,994 miles in January 2024, 29,345 miles in January 2025, and 36,710 miles in January 2026. This equates to approximately 7,350 miles between each test, confirming steady, predictable use rather than long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. The data set is clean and evenly spaced, with no gaps that would raise concern over missed tests or unrecorded damage. The only advisory on record appeared in the January 2025 test at 29,345 miles, when the tester flagged a cut in the nearside front tyre sidewall that had not yet reached the ply or cords. This was a minor, isolated defect and the subsequent 2026 test recorded no tyre-related issues, suggesting the tyre was replaced or the damage did not propagate. No suspension, braking, exhaust, or structural corrosion defects have appeared across any of the three tests. A buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, check the condition and date stamps of all four tyres, and verify that the braking system shows no uneven wear or binding. The diesel particulate filter and exhaust emissions system should be assessed under load, given the MHEV system relies on frequent regeneration cycles that can be disrupted by predominantly short journeys. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a physical inspection of the drivetrain and chassis remains essential before purchase.
