2014 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · OV14 OWA

The 2025-05-28 MOT at 144,499 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable since the previous test. The mileage trajectory shows a marked increase over recent years: from 120,020 miles in August 2022 to 121,819 miles in May 2023, a rise of 1,800 miles; then a jump to 136,905 miles by May 2024, adding roughly 15,000 miles in a single year, followed by a further 7,542 miles to the 2025 reading. These accumulations suggest periods of intensive use or extended intervals between tests, contrasting with the vehicle’s 12‑year age and average annual mileage of about 12,000 miles. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, and inspect the brake assembly for caliper binding, disc wear and pad thickness, as these components are prone to deterioration under high mileage. Particular attention to structural rust on chassis rails, wheel arches and the underbody is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and the absence of recent corrosion advisories. Overall, the consistent pass rate and lack of recorded defects suggest that previous owners have maintained the vehicle adequately, though the high annual mileage warrants a thorough in‑person assessment of wear‑prone components before purchase.
