2007 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · LA07 GVX

The 2024‑02‑28 MOT at 172,007 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with the last failure occurring in 2014 and the most recent test confirming no new faults. At roughly 9,050 miles per year over 19 years, the mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, but the interval from the 2022‑11‑08 test (168,012 miles) to the 2024‑02‑28 test (172,007 miles) represents only 3,995 miles in 16 months, suggesting periods of reduced use. Recurring advisories such as deteriorated suspension bushes (2.4.G.2), play in the steering rack inner joint(s), worn and pitted brake discs, and severely deteriorated CV joint gaiters indicate components that should be examined for wear and possible replacement, while the persistent oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)) and structural rigidity note (6.1.1 (d) (i)) suggest ongoing checks of the front upper and lower members. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, steering rack, brake discs and pads, CV joint boots, and verify that the oil leak remains within acceptable limits; additionally, the structural integrity of the front upper and lower members and the condition of the exhaust system should be confirmed, as these items have repeatedly attracted advisories despite the recent pass.
