2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SY16 KCV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 135,943 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of recurring mechanical wear-and-tear issues. While the most recent test was clean, the history indicates a vehicle that has required consistent attention to its braking and suspension systems as it progressed into its high-mileage years. At 135,943 miles over ten years, this Discovery has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the annual intervals, with roughly 12,000 miles recorded between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, and 11,163 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This high level of use explains the accelerated degradation of heavy-duty components seen and noted throughout the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, given the history of worn arm pins and bushes flagged in both 2021 and 2023. The 2022 failure is particularly telling, as excessive corrosion across all four brake pipes necessitated replacement. While these were likely rectified to pass, the buyer should check for any signs of emerging surface rust along the chassis and underbody. Additionally, the offside rear brake binding noted in March 2025 warrants scrutiny to ensure the caliper or piston mechanism has not suffered internal failure due to the high mileage and heavy usage.
