2021 Land Rover Discovery R-Dynam HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · ST21 ONO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on May 21 2026. While the overall status is passing, the maintenance trend shows the emergence of consumable component wear. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear inner brake pads as wearing thin at 104,044 miles, indicating that while the vehicle meets legal safety standards, the braking system is now approaching a service interval that requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. The data shows significant usage between the June 2024 test at 58,848 miles and the May 2025 test at 81,894 miles, covering over 23,000 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use or heavy commercial application, which typically places higher stress on the MHEV drivetrain, suspension bushings, and cooling components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the thin pads have not caused heat damage to the rear discs. Given the high mileage, attention should also shift to the air suspension components and control arms, as these are prone to fatigue after exceeding six-figure miles. The lack of structural corrosion notes in the 2024 and 2025 records suggests the chassis remains sound, but the recent advisory on the brakes confirms that the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more frequent mechanical intervention.
