2020 Land Rover Discovery Landmark SD6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · LC20 HXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 18 June 2026 at 89,113 miles resulted in a pass only after failing six miles prior due to a structural failure in the nearside front tyre and a damaged reflector. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the recurring nature of cosmetic and consumable-related faults suggests that the owner only addresses issues when forced by the MOT tester. At 89,113 miles, this Land Rover Discovery has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent high-usage, with 14,187 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 10,545 miles covered in the final year. This high mileage profile places accelerated stress on the SD6 drivetrain, the complex air suspension system, and the braking components, which are prone to expensive wear and tear at these mileage intervals. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and tyres, as the June 2025 test at 78,562 miles flagged thin offside rear pads and a damaged front tyre. The failure for an inoperative malfunction indicator light (MIL) in 2025 is particularly concerning, as it indicates potential electrical faults that may have been cleared or ignored without proper diagnosis. In-person inspection should also check for leaks in the air suspension bellows and wear on the suspension bushings, given the high-mileage usage and the history of neglecting minor component maintenance.
