2010 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · LS10 MPX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests—conducted just four months ago on 10 March 2026—show an unusual but technically clean record, with both tests at 119,540 miles registering as passed despite the duplicate entries. This suggests the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity at that point, though the repeated test date raises questions about administrative irregularity rather than mechanical condition. No advisories or defects were recorded in any of the five MOTs spanning 2023 to 2026, indicating no recurring failures in critical systems. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—especially in high-mileage components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or drivetrain joints—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression reveals a consistent but moderate usage pattern, averaging around 7,500 miles annually over the past six years. Since the last test in March 2026, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 12,000 miles, placing it at 119,540 miles today. There are no extended gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, which might otherwise signal neglect or off-road abuse. The most recent MOT-to-date interval of four months is well within the legal limit, though it does not provide recent confirmation of ongoing maintenance beyond that point. Given the absence of recorded failures, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—though not failed—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as the vehicle’s age and typical usage could mask subtle issues. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or cracked heat shields. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
