2009 Land Rover Discovery 4.4L Petrol · SN09 HPK

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, with the most recent test on 15 July 2025 resulting in a pass after two consecutive failures earlier that same week. While the July 2025 pass suggests the immediate issues were rectified, the trend of failing multiple tests within short timeframes indicates intermittent mechanical or safety non-compliance. The record shows a recurring cycle of failure followed by successful retests, specifically in July 2024 and July 2025, which suggests the vehicle frequently falls below minimum legal standards before being corrected. The recorded mileage of 211,558 miles for a 2009 model represents high usage, averaging approximately 12,445 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan. This high mileage level typically correlates with increased wear on heavy-duty components such as the suspension system, drivetrain, and braking assemblies. The MOT data provided does not show specific mileage increments between the 2024 and 2025 tests, making it impossible to determine the exact rate of recent accumulation, though the total distance remains significant for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural components for corrosion, as the MOT records do not detail the specific reasons for the failures in July 2024 and July 2025. The absence of recorded defect descriptions in the provided data prevents a specific diagnosis of whether the failures related to emissions, lighting, or braking systems. Given the high mileage and the pattern of recent failures, a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is necessary to identify any ongoing wear that may not have been captured in the brief summary of the test results.
