Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as this 2016 Land Rover Discovery has a recent MOT failure that required tyre and headlamp corrections. The clean prior history and modest mileage are reassuring, but the July 2025 failure shows deferred maintenance that should be addressed before you buy.
Ask to see the full service history for this LS66HTY example, as no reliability data exists for the model and a well-documented service record is the best evidence of care. Use the recent failure as a negotiation point — replacement tyres and a steering check could cost several hundred pounds, so factor that into any offer on this September 2016-registered diesel.
Typical annual running costs for this 2016 Discovery, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated at £1,400-£1,800 given its engine size and class. The 2024 steering advisory and 2025 tyre failures suggest budgeting for suspension and tyre wear items in the near term.
Examine the off-side front steering rack inner joint highlighted as having play in the August 2024 MOT, since this was an advisory and may have progressed by the 2025 test. As no model-wide weak points are available, rely on a general inspection of the 3.0 diesel's underside, brakes, and suspension for a nine-year-old, 57k-mile example.
This black 2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0 litre diesel (LS66HTY) shows 57,394 miles on its most recent July 2025 MOT, which is low for a nine-year-old large SUV. The vehicle passed every MOT from 2022 to 2024 with only minor advisories, but failed in July 2025 for tyre and headlamp faults before being retested and passed the same day. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so the assessment rests solely on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Discovery, so this assessment is based only on the individual history of LS66HTY.
