2021 Land Rover Discovery SPT Rdyn SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · SM21 UTW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having a clean MOT pass in August 2025 at 70,310 miles. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement following a failure in August 2024. This transition from multiple critical failures to a defect-free certificate suggests that the previous owner addressed urgent safety concerns, and the vehicle has since maintained a stable condition through the most recent inspection cycle. At 70,310 miles over five years, this Discovery has averaged approximately 14,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a modern diesel vehicle. The data shows a significant accumulation of 20,055 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, indicating consistent high-mileage motorway use. While this usage pattern typically accelerates wear on the complex air suspension systems and drivetrain components, the lack of recent defects suggests these systems are holding adequately. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry. The August 2024 failure identified excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both the nearside and offside rear. While these were rectified, the high mileage suggests that other rubber bushes, bushings, and ball joints may be nearing the end of their service life. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the previous test noted two tyres with exposed cords, which often points to a previous failure to monitor basic maintenance or alignment issues.
