Our Verdict
This Land Rover Discovery is a solid option for those seeking a large diesel SUV with a relatively clean recent MOT history. While the 2023 failure requires a quick check to see what was rectified, the subsequent two years of defect-free passes are encouraging.
When inspecting this specific 2010 model, first confirm the details of the March 2023 MOT failure to understand what required attention. Although the record shows 'no defects recorded' for the failure itself, you should ask the seller for documentation regarding the repair.
Given the large 3.0L diesel engine, check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly. Because this is a heavy SUV, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension components and tyres, as these are common wear items for this model.
Running a 3.0L diesel Discovery involves significant costs. Expect higher fuel consumption typical of a large 4x4, and factor in a higher insurance group due to the vehicle's size and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs for Land Rover models can be higher than average, particularly for specialized components. You should budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to heavy-duty components like brakes and suspension. The estimated annual running cost is expected to be substantial.
Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted by aggregate data for this model: check the headlamps for clarity and function, and inspect the brake hoses for any signs of perishing or leaks.
Additionally, because corrosion is a top failure reason for this model across 166,727 analysed vehicles, perform a thorough check of the chassis and underside for any signs of rust. Given the 93,808 mileage, also inspect the drive belts and cooling system components for signs of age-related wear.
This 2010 black Land Rover Discovery features a 2993cc diesel engine and has covered 93,808 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. The vehicle shows a consistent mileage pattern, having grown from 89,338 miles in 2021 to its current figure. While it experienced one MOT failure in March 2023, the most recent two tests have passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, brake hoses, and corrosion.
