2009 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · PX59 AEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate reactive maintenance. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 109,143 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just one mile prior. This sequence mirrors the result from 10 August 2024 at 107,612 miles, where the vehicle failed and subsequently passed on the same day. These entries suggest the previous owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related items immediately to maintain legal roadworthiness rather than allowing faults to persist between tests. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,420 miles per annum. Between August 2023 at 102,712 miles and August 2025 at 109,143 miles, the vehicle covered 6,431 miles over two years. This steady interval suggests a typical usage pattern rather than long periods of standing stationary, which often benefits the engine seals and braking components. The lack of significant gaps in the testing history indicates the vehicle remains in regular use throughout the recorded period. Despite the clean sheets on the most recent passes, the recurring failures on the day of testing suggest frequent issues with minor consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor mechanical adjustments. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the air suspension system and bushings, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age and mileage, a structural inspection of the chassis for corrosion-related weakness is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of surface rust on the frame. Checking for fluid leaks around the engine and drivetrain is also necessary to ensure the consistent mileage has not masked underlying mechanical wear.
