2017 Land Rover Discovery SE TD6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · VGZ 1025

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by the most recent 2025-05-08 MOT at 70,539 miles, which recorded no defects. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2021 show consistent passing results, with no recurring issues flagged. The 2021-09-24 failure at 40,279 miles was recorded without specific defects, suggesting a procedural or minor technical anomaly rather than a structural concern. The absence of advisories or failures in the last four tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 2017 model, accumulating approximately 7,838 miles annually. Gaps between MOT tests range from 10 to 14 months, reflecting regular but not excessively frequent servicing. The 2021-10-15 test at 40,630 miles followed the 2021-09-24 failure, implying a possible correction period, though no follow-up issues were noted. The record lacks significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity, suggesting consistent operation rather than erratic use. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and off-road orientation. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for wear, as these are common failure points in high-mileage SUVs. Underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis and exhaust system, should be checked, as rust can develop in older models. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, physical verification of these areas is essential to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing mechanical integrity.
