Our Verdict
This 2020 Land Rover Discovery SE SD4 Auto offers decent value but requires careful inspection of brake components and corrosion. The MOT history shows recurring issues with child seat fittings and a failed inspection in 2023, though recent tests are clean.
Prioritise checking the front and rear brake discs for excessive wear, as noted in the 2025 MOT. Inspect the offside front bumper mountings for corrosion, which was flagged as 'not likely to become detached.' Verify the vehicle's service history to confirm maintenance of the diesel engine and 4x4 system. Negotiate based on the 2023 MOT failure, which may indicate neglect. Be wary of child seat fittings obstructing inspections, which could hide underlying issues.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.0L SD4 engine is moderate, with combined figures around 35-40 mpg. Tax is £150 annually (Euro 6 DG standard). Insurance group likely falls in the mid-to-high range for a premium SUV. Maintenance costs may be elevated due to the 4x4 system and diesel particulate filter. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Focus on the brake discs (front and rear) for uneven wear, as highlighted in the 2025 MOT. Check the offside front bumper mountings for corrosion progression. Inspect the nearside front headlamp cleaning device and windscreen washer system, which failed in 2023. Look for water ingress signs near the windscreen and assess the condition of the 4x4 drivetrain. Verify that child seat fittings do not impede access to critical components.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with minor brake wear, corrosion, and child seat-related inspection issues. At 49,598 miles (2025), the mileage is above average for its age, though the Euro 6 DG engine meets modern emissions standards. No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model.
No aggregate MOT data available for this specific model, but Land Rover Discoveries are generally reliable with proper maintenance. Diesel variants like the SD4 require attention to particulate filters and brake systems.
