MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Land Rover Discovery (MV52 UGS) between August 2005 and May 2026.

The record contains 22 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 69 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: “Brake pedal anti-slip provision missing (1.1.2 (c))”; “Central Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
