2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · OV65 WVT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first sign of mechanical wear after several years of clean passes. In the November 2025 test at 102,057 miles, the tester recorded an advisory for slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. This marks a departure from the previous four tests between 2020 and 2023, where the vehicle passed without any recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 87,813 miles and November 2025 at 102,057 miles, the vehicle covered 14,244 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. The lack of significant gaps in the testing history suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the seal degradation or brake corrosion associated with neglect. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the nearside front wheel assembly to determine if the bearing play has progressed to a point of noise or imminent failure. The advisory for under trays in the most recent test warrants a close check of the chassis and underbody components to ensure no significant corrosion or damage is hidden behind the shielding. Given that the vehicle was clean for five years, the structural integrity and primary mechanical components appear well-maintained, but the suspension and wheel bearings now require closer monitoring as the vehicle exceeds the 100,000-mile threshold.
