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 1994 Land Rover Discovery (M996 TOF) between August 2006 and June 2019.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 14 June 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (31 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Bodywork (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Suspension (8 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: “Nearside Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountin”; “Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded arch (5.2.6)”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded arch (5.2.6)”.
