2015 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · ST15 EHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of neglected braking system maintenance. While it passed the most recent test on May 5 2026 at 101,647 miles, the tester again flagged corroded rear brake pipes on both sides. This specific issue has persisted across the last three tests, dating back to May 2024, indicating that previous owners opted for cosmetic fixes or grease-based repairs rather than the necessary structural replacement of the corroded lines. At 101,647 miles over eleven years, the Land Rover has averaged approximately 9,240 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 11,600 miles driven between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 13,500 miles recorded before the May 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods, placing consistent demand on heavy-duty suspension and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The history shows a progression of wear in the suspension arm ball joints and bushes, moving from slight play in 2024 to a functional failure in 2025. Although the ball joint was reportedly replaced, the recurring mention of the nearside front lower arm bush suggests the assembly is nearing the end of its service life. Furthermore, the persistent corrosion on the rear brake pipes remains a high priority; the presence of grease to hide rust suggests a significant risk of sudden hydraulic failure if the lines are not replaced with new metal piping.
