Our Verdict
This 2017 Land Rover Discovery diesel is a reasonable buy if priced correctly, with a generally clean MOT record and modest annual mileage. However, the 2023 advisories around suspension and tyres mean a careful inspection is warranted before purchase.
Before buying M80ECY, request the full service history to confirm the 2.0-litre diesel engine and suspension components have been maintained to schedule, especially given the 2023 advisory on the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Use the 2023 MOT notes to negotiate, as the listed wear items may require near-term attention if not already addressed after the test.
The 1999cc diesel engine in this Discovery typically returns moderate fuel economy for a large SUV, though exact figures are not in the provided data; road tax for a 2017 diesel of this size will be in a higher band. Insurance group is likely elevated due to the Land Rover badge and vehicle class, adding to annual costs.
Inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover that was severely deteriorated at the 2023 MOT (85,320 miles test showed 77,929), confirming it has been replaced or repaired since. Check the rear tyres and offside rear seat belt webbing for the wear and fraying advised in 2023, as these may persist if untouched.
The vehicle shows a broadly positive MOT history with four passes and no failures across 2021 to 2026, currently at 86,001 miles. The 2023 test flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover plus rear tyres on the legal limit and a slightly frayed seat belt, though all were advisories rather than failures. Annual mileage averaged around 7,000-9,000 miles, which is modest for a nine-year-old large SUV. No aggregate model reliability data was available to benchmark against other Discoveries.
No aggregate MOT data was available for the Land Rover Discovery, so reliability cannot be benchmarked against the model population from the provided information.
