1999 Land Rover Discovery 2.5L Diesel · MOG 120P

The Discovery presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 15 September 2025 at 114,917 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior tests in 2023 and 2024 also closed with passes and no faults logged, so the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 114,917 against a 1999 build, an average of roughly 4,256 miles per year. The owner added only 2,686 miles between the September 2023 test at 103,878 miles and the August 2024 test at 112,231 miles, then a further 2,686 miles to the September 2025 pass. Such low annual use over 27 years suggests extended standing periods rather than hard drivetrain wear, though static storage accelerates corrosion and perishes rubber components. The DVSA entries show two failed tests on 11 September 2023 and 28 August 2024 at 103,878 and 112,231 miles respectively, yet both list no defects and immediately passed on the same dates. This points to administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. Low-mileage Land Rovers of this era commonly develop chassis outrigger corrosion and tired suspension bushes through damp storage even when MOT data stays clean. Verify the condition of coil springs, brake calipers, and underbody structure before purchase, as the record offers no evidence of fault but equally no proof of recent underside care.
