2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · OY15 NTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 93,062 miles showed a pass following a failure just eight days prior due to poor parking brake efficiency and an offside front tyre. While the faults were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of tyre wear and brake issues suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical concerns when they fail legal inspections rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap in records between the December 2020 test at 61,069 miles and the August 2024 test at 81,384 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles. This period shows steady usage, but the lack of interim data makes it difficult to verify the condition of heavy-duty components like the air suspension system which are prone to wear on a Land Rover Discovery of this age. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the record flagged front suspension arm bushes in 2019. Given the history of uneven tyre wear in 2020 and 2025, a professional should check for further alignment issues or worn ball joints. The August 2025 parking brake failure necessitates a physical check of the handbrake mechanism and calipers to ensure the adjustment is not slipping or slipping. Additionally, the previous report of corrosion on rear discs in 2018 suggests the brakes should be inspected for thinning or excessive pitting as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark.
