2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · PR08 TAZ

The 2026‑01‑15 MOT at 80,127 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2020 test, each subsequent annual inspection has produced a pass with zero defects, showing consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory from 19,266 miles in November 2019 to 80,127 miles in January 2026 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 8,900 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old Discovery. The jump from 28,518 miles in 2020 to 37,578 miles in 2021 represents a 9,060‑mile rise in one year, while the 2022 increase to 53,368 miles (15,790 miles) suggests a period of more intensive use, though no abrupt spikes appear in the later years. Recurring issues flagged in earlier tests include thin rear brake pads at 53,368 miles in 2022 and tyre wear close to the legal limit with a thorn in the near‑side rear tyre at 28,518 miles in 2020, indicating that suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components have experienced regular wear that should be examined closely. Given the vehicle’s age, a detailed inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for structural rust is advisable. A buyer should therefore prioritize a hands‑on assessment of the rear brake system, including pad thickness, disc condition and caliper movement, as well as the suspension geometry, bush wear and any signs of binding calipers. Visual checks for corrosion on the body panels and chassis, and verification that the child‑seat fit does not impede adult belt inspection, will complete the due‑diligence process.
