2021 Land Rover Discovery Rdynamic SE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · SH21 XCW

A spotless MOT history across its recent examinations suggests the vehicle has not been recorded with any roadworthiness defects; it passed its 2025‑09‑03 test without comment and did the same on 2023‑11‑13, indicating a stable compliance trend over the last two years. At 45,193 mi on a 2021 model the average annual accumulation sits at roughly 9,000 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The two‑year MOT record shows no large mileage spikes between tests, implying a consistent, moderate level of wear rather than the accelerated degradation associated with high‑kilometre running. The absence of a 2024 test entry is simply a gap in the supplied data and does not, on its own, signal a problem. With no specific advisories logged, the buyer should still focus on the wear items that commonly emerge on a Discovery of this vintage. On a low‑speed drive listen for any clunk or knock over bumps that could reveal deteriorating suspension bushes or worn ball joints, and feel for any steering pull or excessive play that might indicate steering rack or tie‑rod wear. Apply the brakes firmly; note any judder, sponginess, or uneven pedal feel that could point to disc wear, caliper binding, or brake hose fatigue. Inspect the under‑carriage for any signs of fluid stains that could betray hidden oil or coolant leaks, and check the exhaust for cracks or excessive rust, especially around the rear pipe where corrosion can develop. Given the clean MOT record, the vehicle is likely to meet the statutory requirements for the next test, but a thorough pre‑purchase inspection should verify the condition of tyres (tread depth and sidewall integrity), battery terminals, and the condition of the timing‑belt or chain service interval as outlined by the manufacturer. Confirm that all lights, wipers and the electronic driver‑assist systems operate correctly, and request any recent service invoices that may corroborate the condition of consumables such as brake fluid and engine oil, even though these items were not flagged in the MOT data.
