MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Land Rover Discovery (V147 GAJ) between February 2006 and July 2023.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 11 July 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (30 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”.
