2021 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynamic HSE Mhev A 3.0L Petrol · LS21 XLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in April 2026, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 17 April 2026 at 32,113 miles failed due to a damaged offside front tyre and a central rear coolant leak. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the appearance of a coolant leak indicates a potential system failure that requires immediate attention to prevent engine overheating. At 32,113 miles over five years, the Discovery has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light usage patterns for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the intervals, with 5,200 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,537 miles before the most recent failure. This steady progression suggests the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to excessive stress, though the low mileage can sometimes lead to component degradation from stationary periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the cooling system to ensure the rear leak identified in April 2026 was properly resolved and is not indicative of a failing water pump or degraded hoses. The 2025 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs at 26,576 miles, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit between services. Verify the current state of the discs and pads for uneven wear or excessive thinning. Given the recent failure for a sidewall cut, check all remaining tyres for similar damage or inconsistent tread depths to ensure the previous owner is not neglecting basic safety-critical consumables.
