2021 Land Rover Discovery Sprt Rdyn SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric · LC70 SSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in pre-test preparation. After a clean pass in June 2025 at 38,996 miles, the car failed a subsequent test in early June 2026 at 47,565 miles. The tester identified a defective offside rear stop lamp, a damaged nearside rear tyre reaching the cords, and incorrect headlamp aim. These issues were rectified to secure a pass on June 10, 2026, suggesting a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for a Discovery, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year over its five-year life. Data shows a steady progression of 9,347 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by another 8,601 miles in the seventeen months leading up to the June 2026 test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which is generally beneficial for the hybrid powertrain and suspension components compared to vehicles subjected to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exterior lighting and glass, given the recent water ingress noted in the stop lamp and the previous windscreen damage in 2025. The failure for a sidewall cut indicates the need for a thorough check of all remaining tyres for impact damage or uneven wear. While the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the age of the Discovery warrants a close manual inspection of the air suspension bellows and rubber bushings, as these are common points of failure that are not always captured by a standard MOT test.
