2008 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · PN58 GVG

The Discovery presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 144,395 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from February 2022 through to the current certificate. Annual mileage has held close to the typical 8,000-mile average for an 18-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 100,179 miles on 11 February 2022, rising to 110,225 by 14 February 2023, 121,563 on 8 February 2024, 133,231 on 11 February 2025, and 144,395 on 6 February 2026. Each year added roughly 11,000 miles, a consistent and moderate use pattern with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes evident in the record. The absence of any advisories across all five tests implies the previous owner kept on top of consumables and mechanical upkeep, with no flagged wear to tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. That said, a clean MOT sheet is not a substitute for physical inspection on a 2008 chassis. A buyer should still scrutinise structural integrity for corrosion on chassis rails and subframes, given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to underbody rust. Check the coil springs and steering joints for fatigue, and confirm the drivetrain and transfer case operate without binding. The records show no faults, but a pre-purchase examination remains prudent.
