2017 Land Rover Discovery HSE TD6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · LC67 MXJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 1 June 2024 at 49,356 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a clean sheet across all recorded inspections, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without the typical wear and tear issues seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a nine-year-old Discovery, averaging approximately 5,500 miles annually. There is a significant gap in records between September 2022 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered over 33,000 miles in under two years. Prior to this, the car remained largely stationary, covering only roughly 3,200 miles over a three-year period period. While the low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid acidity. Because the MOT records do not flag recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage sitting. A buyer must specifically check the air suspension bellows for signs of cracking or leaking, as these components often perish when not used regularly. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit idle. Given the recent spike in mileage, verifying the condition of the tyres and the suspension bushings is also essential to ensure the sudden increase in use has not stressed aged chassis components.
