2005 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · SW05 PNK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 117,491 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed necessary maintenance before issues escalated into MOT test failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 21-year-old Discovery, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between April 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 9,719 miles, which confirms a history of low-intensity use. The single failure recorded in April 2023 at 111,743 miles, followed by a pass the very next day at 111,745 miles, suggests a minor consumable issue such as a blown bulb or a wiper blade that was rectified instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and air arms, as low-mileage older Land are prone to seized components and rubber perish from sitting stationary. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that components like suspension bushes and seals may be degraded regardless of the low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion and check the calipers for leaks, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and binding in the braking system.
