2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SC16 ABZ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 133,894 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failures over the last three years suggests a consistent standard of maintenance. A brief failure on 21 October 2024 was resolved within 24 hours, indicating a prompt response to any identified faults. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently, with the odometer climbing from 97,374 miles in June 2023 to 133,894 miles by October 2025. This represents over 36,000 miles covered in roughly 28 months. Such rapid accumulation puts accelerated pressure on the drivetrain and chassis components. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of heavy-wear items. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on Discovery models with this level of use. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and the underside should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points. The lack of recurring faults in the DVSA data implies a diligent ownership history. However, the high annual mileage means the vehicle is likely approaching major service intervals for the gearbox and differentials. Verifying the service history for these specific mechanical components is essential to ensure the long-term reliability of the drivetrain.
