MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1993 Land Rover Discovery (L470 LTF) between July 2006 and May 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 29 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Anti-roll bar ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Brake master cylinder/servo mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (3.6.C.3)”.
