2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · RF17 AAV

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-19 assessment at 76,879 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage patterns, and the absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The mileage progression shows steady annual accumulation, with 35,881 miles in 2021 rising to 76,879 by 2025, averaging 8,542 miles per year. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, reflecting routine compliance. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity reduces risk of wear from neglect, though the vehicle’s 9-year age means components like suspension bushes and coil springs may show natural degradation. A buyer should inspect the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around chassis rails and exhaust mounts, as older Land Rovers can develop rust in damp climates. Check suspension components for wear, as coil springs and bushes often require replacement after 80,000 miles. Verify brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and confirm tyre tread depth matches the 2025 MOT’s 3mm minimum. While the MOT history shows no faults, these areas remain critical for long-term reliability.
