MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Land Rover Discovery (M541 LHB) between May 2006 and November 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 13 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Axle swivel joint insecure in a stub axle (5.1.2 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Steering linkage ball joint ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer”; “Nearside Front Steering linkage ball joint ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longe”.
