2017 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · W11 DAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 100,247 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified previously have been addressed. This represents a significant shift from the failures seen in 2022, suggesting the current ownership is proactive regarding essential safety-critical maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation of use, moving from 17,500 miles in 2020 to over 100,000 miles by early 2026. There are no unusual gaps suggesting long periods of stagnation, which benefits the rubber seals and braking components. The consistent intervals of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles between annual tests indicate a predictable and regular usage pattern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, given the historical failures. The April 2022 failure at 36,686 miles highlighted thin front brake pads and exposed cords on both rear tyres. While the vehicle has passed since then, the buyer should verify the current brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the rear calipers are not binding. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, a thorough check of the air suspension bellows and suspension bushings is also advisable, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure.
