MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Land Rover Discovery (X686 AFS) between February 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 15 April 2026 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 (26 issues), Brakes (26 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 60 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: “Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 1 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (5.3.2 (c))”.
