2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · WA13 RON

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 09 September 2025 at 66,733 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test resulted in a single minor defect regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard following the more significant mechanical interventions required in previous years. The overall trend shows a clear improvement in presentation compared to the 2023 testing cycle, where the vehicle failed due to suspension and tyre issues. The recorded mileage of 66,733 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,673 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The history shows consistent annual testing intervals, confirming the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the drivetrain has been kept mobile, though the lower annual figures indicate it likely serves as a secondary vehicle or one used for shorter, local journeys. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front lower suspension arms, as the 2023 failure at 52,686 miles specifically identified excessive wear on the offside pin and bush. While these components were addressed to secure the pass, the recurring nature of tyre wear flagged in 2023 and 2024 suggests the front-end geometry may be sensitive or prone to misalignment. Check the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this often indicates lingering suspension fatigue or tracking issues that do not always manifest during a standard MOT test. Ensure the steering remains responsive and free from knocking noises during a test drive to confirm the integrity of the replaced suspension components.
