2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SL17 AEM

The Land Rover Discovery presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent MOT test conducted on 17 September 2025 at 89,612 miles. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last several years, with no recorded defects or advisories during the three most recent inspections. This suggests that the owner has adhered to a proactive maintenance schedule, addressing potential issues before they manifest as formal test failures. The vehicle has covered 89,612 miles over approximately nine years, averaging just under 10,000 miles per annum. This usage pattern remains within the expected range for a vehicle of this class and age. A notable spike in mileage occurred between January 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 23,000 miles in less than two years. This period of increased usage did not result in any mechanical failures, indicating that the drivetrain and chassis components have handled the higher intensity of use without developing significant wear. Prospective buyers should note that the absence of recorded advisories does not preclude the presence of latent wear common to this model. While the MOT history is clean, inspect the air suspension system for leaks or compressor fatigue, as these are frequent failure points on high-mileage Land Rovers that may not always trigger an immediate test failure. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the recent increase in mileage may have accelerated consumable wear since the last inspection. Verify that the electronic parking brake engages and releases smoothly, as this system is prone to seizing if not exercised regularly. Given the vehicle's age and current mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the underside for signs of corrosion or oil leaks around the engine and transmission remains a prudent step before purchase.
