2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · YA66 AAJ

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 84,680 miles confirms compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained over its 10-year lifespan. The absence of advisories or critical failures in all tests implies no immediate mechanical or structural risks. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 8,468 miles annually. Gaps between tests range from 10 to 11 months, with mileage increases of 3,823 to 14,218 miles per interval. Notably, the 2022 test at 39,970 miles shows a 3,823-mile jump from the 2021 test, which may reflect seasonal use or infrequent driving. Subsequent annual increases remain steady, with no abrupt spikes that might indicate excessive wear. The clean MOT history suggests no hidden deterioration in critical systems despite the vehicle’s age. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible defects. The absence of corrosion reports in the record is positive, but a thorough underbody inspection is advisable to detect rust, particularly in the chassis or exhaust system. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, as even minor imbalances can emerge without triggering MOT failures. The vehicle’s clean MOT record does not preclude these checks, as some issues may develop between tests.
