2009 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · SW09 CFK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on February 28, 2026, at 177,822 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a period of instability early in the current year. The vehicle failed two consecutive tests within a fifteen-day window in February 2026 at approximately 177,800 miles, suggesting that specific mechanical or safety-related faults required immediate rectification to achieve the final pass that month. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's 17-year age, averaging approximately 10,460 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 157,487 miles and the 2025 test at 167,387 miles, the vehicle covered 10,000 miles in just thirteen months. The more recent interval saw 10,425 miles between April 2025 and February 2026. This steady usage suggests regular operation, which places predictable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components typical of the Discovery chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and undercarriage. Given the high mileage and the recent failures in February 2026, focus should be placed on checking for accumulation of corrosion on the chassis rails and mounting points. The rapid-fire fail-pass sequence implies that components such as brake lines, exhaust fixings, or suspension bushes may have reached the end of their functional life. Inspect for wear on the suspension system and fluid leaks to ensure that the recent MOT pass was not merely a temporary fix for recurring mechanical issues.
