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 2005 Land Rover Discovery (RJ05 MFO) between March 2008 and October 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 05 October 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (9 issues), Steering (8 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Nearside Rear Brake hose porous (1.1.12 (e))”; “Central Prop shaft flexible coupling so deteriorated it is likely to fail (6.1.7 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
