2009 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SO09 EZG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 113,070 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred in early November 2023, the immediate pass eight days later at identical mileage suggests that the identified issues were rectified promptly and that the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of operational compliance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 9,928 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 3,300 miles per year during that period. This lower annual mileage suggests lighter road use, which typically reduces wear on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and air suspension system. The lack of long gaps between tests indicates a proactive approach regarding annual legal requirements rather than allowing the vehicle to sit for extended periods. Despite the clean records in recent years, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on the inherent weaknesses of the Discovery platform. Given the age and the specific mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT only examines visible rust that affects integrity. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and air bag bellows for cracking or leaking, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Since the recent records show no recurring advisories for brakes or tyres, any discovery of binding calipers or uneven tyre wear during a physical inspection would indicate a hidden maintenance issue not the digital history suggests.
