2011 Land Rover Discovery 2.7L Diesel · T24 UNG

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 March 2025 at 127,521 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent run of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating that the vehicle is currently well-maintained and free of the recurring faults seen in its earlier history. The mileage is typical for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,501 miles per year. There was a period of higher usage between 2014 and 2015, where mileage jumped from 55,129 to 69,155. More recently, the vehicle has seen steady use, covering 8,206 miles between February 2024 and March 2025. The consistency of the recent MOT intervals suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often exacerbates corrosion in this model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and chassis. The history shows a significant pattern of corrosion affecting brake pipes and hose ferrules, leading to a failure on 15 October 2019 and another on 2 December 2015. While these were rectified to pass subsequent tests, the prevalence of corrosion in these areas suggests a susceptibility to rust that warrants a thorough check of the underbody and brake lines. The front suspension also requires scrutiny. The 15 October 2019 failure highlighted excessively worn lower suspension arm bushes, and the subsequent pass on 17 October 2019 still noted wear in the upper arm bushes and track rod ends. Although the record has remained clean for several years, the heavy-duty nature of the Discovery means suspension components are high-wear items. Verifying the current condition of the bushings and ball joints is advisable to ensure no new play has developed.
