MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Land Rover Discovery (Y552 DWP) between July 2005 and August 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 16 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Front Lower Shock absorber has an excessively worn bush (2.7.4)”.
