MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Land Rover Discovery (R441 EOC) between May 2006 and December 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 16 December 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (23 issues), Brakes (20 issues), Bodywork (18 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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: “Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings both rear bo”; “Nearside Rear Lower Shock absorber has an excessively worn bush (2.7.4)”; “Nearside Front wheel bearing has excessive play (2.5.A.3c)”.
