2017 Land Rover Discovery 2.0L Diesel · OV17 WHT

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 April 2026. The overall maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with a consistent history of passes and very few recorded defects or advisories over the last six years. This indicates a vehicle that has likely been subject to regular upkeep and has avoided the common systemic failures often seen in this model's long-term ownership history. With a recorded mileage of 69,642 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,738 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a premium SUV of this age, suggesting a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with both excessive wear from high mileage and the degradation caused by prolonged standing. There are no significant gaps or rapid increases in mileage that would suggest erratic usage or commercial exploitation. Prospective buyers should prioritize the inspection of the offside rear tyre, which was noted as being worn close to the legal limit with cuts on the tread during the latest inspection. This requires immediate replacement to ensure safety and legality. Additionally, while rear brake pads were flagged as thin in 2021, the subsequent clean tests suggest they have since been replaced; however, a physical check of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion is advised. The recurring mention of fitted under trays should be noted; ensure these are securely fastened and that they are not concealing any slow oil or coolant leaks from the engine or gearbox. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough review of the service history is essential to verify that calendar-based fluid changes have been performed regardless of the moderate mileage. Pay close attention to the health of the 12V battery and the operation of the air suspension system, listening for any unusual compressor noise or observing any sagging after the vehicle has been parked. During the test drive, listen for clunks from the suspension bushes and ensure there is no shuddering under braking, which would indicate warped discs. Finally, check all tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains acceptable.
