2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SN65 LCT

The 2015 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 117,932 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this occasion, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at the time of testing. A failure occurred just three days prior on 17 October 2025 at the identical mileage, yet the absence of recorded defects suggests the initial failure stemmed from a minor, easily rectifiable issue rather than a fundamental mechanical fault. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, reflecting a stable and well-maintained condition. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2023 test at 93,290 miles and the October 2024 test at 104,702 miles, the Discovery covered 11,412 miles. This increased slightly to 13,230 miles over the following twelve months, reaching 117,932 miles in October 2025. This steady upward trajectory points to consistent, regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessively high annual mileage that might accelerate wear on drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, the pattern of failing and passing on the same day in both 2023 and 2025 warrants a closer look at basic consumables and minor electrical items. Buyers should physically inspect the condition of all external lights, wiper blades, and tyre tread depths, as these commonly cause same-day failures. Given the vehicle's age and typical mileage, a thorough underbody inspection remains essential to check for corrosion on the chassis, suspension mounts, and brake lines. The air suspension system and drivetrain components should be evaluated for leaks or excessive play, as these are known weak points on the Discovery platform that might not always trigger an MOT failure but can lead to costly repairs.
