Our Verdict

A recommended purchase for those seeking

When reviewing this vehicle, prioritise the service history to confirm when the brakes were last replaced, as MOT advisories in 2022, 2023, and 2025 specifically noted thin pads and worn discs. Ensure that the 2993cc diesel engine has a documented history of regular oil and filter changes to support long-term reliability.

Given the model's aggregate data, you should also verify the condition of the suspension components. While this specific car has not failed on this point, suspension arms are a top failure reason for the Discovery across the wider UK fleet, making them a key point for negotiation or pre-purchase inspection.

The 3.0L diesel engine is designed for towing and long-distance cruising, but fuel costs will be significant given the vehicle's weight and engine size. Insurance groups for the Discovery are generally high, and annual road tax will be based on the 2017 emissions standards for this engine variant.

Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average, particularly for consumables. As seen in this vehicle's MOT history, brake pads and discs are wear items that require regular monitoring. Estimated annual costs include fuel, insurance, tax, and the higher price of premium SUV tyres and parts.

Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of wear, with advisories for discs and pads appearing in 2022, 2023, and 2025; confirm if these were addressed or simply monitored. Check the thickness of the remaining pads and the surface of the discs for pitting or scoring.

Additionally, inspect the headlamps and tyres for any signs of degradation, as these are common failure points for this model. Finally, have a mechanic check the suspension arms for any play or bushing wear, as this is a frequent issue identified in aggregate MOT data for the Discovery range.

This silver 2017 Land Rover Discovery has a recorded history of five MOT tests since 2022, all of which resulted in a pass. With 83,431 miles recorded as of April 2026, the vehicle has been used slightly more than the model average of 7,600 miles per year. The MOT record is relatively clean, though it highlights repeated advisories regarding brake disc and pad wear.

The Discovery has an average MOT pass rate of 80.6%, with the most common failures typically involving headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.
