MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Land Rover Discovery (P814 HOJ) between March 2006 and June 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 26 June 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Steering (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced At body mounting close to b pil”; “Nearside Rear Hydraulic brake calliper leaking (1.1.16 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake lever has excessive movement indicating incorrect adjustment (1.1.6 (c))”.
