2018 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · OV68 KPX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline regarding tyre condition. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 75,241 miles passed, it highlighted multiple tyre issues including a cut offside rear tyre and a non-repairable nail in the nearside rear. This follows an advisory in 2024 where both front tyres were flagged for being close to the legal limit with uneven wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 31,005 miles and the October 2025 test at 75,241 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 44,000 miles, indicating steady annual usage. The period between 2021 and 2022 showed no recorded defects whatsoever, suggesting a period of good mechanical health before the more recent tyre-related faults emerged. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres in 2024 often indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect geometry. Given the Land Rover Discovery's weight, the buyer should also check for signs of premature wear on the bushings and control arms. The recurring nature of tyre damage suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive, necessitating a check of the current remaining tread depth and any hidden structural damage to the sidewalls.
