2010 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · SY 2288

The 2025‑11‑12 MOT at 174,040 miles confirms the 2010 Land Rover Discovery remains roadworthy, though the test recorded a worn near‑side rear upper suspension arm pin or bush and an off‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Repeated passes since 2013 show a stable maintenance record with no major failures, indicating the owner has addressed each advisory promptly, though recurring tyre and suspension wear suggest ongoing use of consumable parts. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 10,878 miles per year over 16 years, a pace that aligns with typical usage for its class. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as mileage rose steadily from 44,540 miles in November 2013 to 174,040 miles in November 2025, with the largest jump of 10,170 miles between 2024 and 2025. A buyer should first examine the rear upper suspension arm and its bush for excessive play, checking the pin for wear and the bush for deterioration, as the 2025 advisory flagged this component. The repeated edge‑wear on front tyres and the 2023 wheel bearing play indicate a need to inspect tyre alignment, suspension geometry and bearing condition. Brake discs show pitting and thinning across multiple years, so a close look at disc surface, pad thickness and caliper movement is essential. Overall, the consistent pass rate demonstrates that the vehicle has been maintained within acceptable limits, yet the recurring advisories point to components that will require attention before purchase.
