2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · LHH 13

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 June 2025 at 113,492 miles. This test was clean, with no defects or advisories recorded. The history shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures, as seen in May 2025 and May 2023, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage is notably low for a 22 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,159 miles per year. Between May 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 9,205 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. The very small mileage increase of only 3 miles between the failed test on 21 May 2025 and the pass on 7 June 2025 confirms the vehicle remained stationary while awaiting repairs. While the MOT record is unusually clean for a Discovery of this vintage, the absence of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of age-related degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as structural rust often develops regardless of low mileage. The lack of recorded advisories on brake discs or suspension bushes over the last three years is atypical for this model and warrants a physical check to ensure components have not simply been overlooked or are nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to rubber components and fluids. Low annual mileage often leads to perished seals or degraded oils due to long periods of standing. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, as the MOT record alone does not confirm the mechanical health of the engine or drivetrain.
