2016 Land Rover Discovery 3.0L Diesel · YR66 TXL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend showing improvement over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in September 2022 at 61,432 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, as four years have passed since that last inspection, the vehicle is currently overdue for an MOT relative to today's date. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 34,857 miles in 2019 to 61,432 miles in 2022. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on heavy-duty drivetrain and suspension components, though the interval between tests on a Land Rover Discovery of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based bushes or corrosion on exposed metal-work surfaces if the car has sat for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as the 2021 test at 51,800 miles flagged thin front brake pads and pitted rear discs. While these were likely replaced before the 2022 pass, the current state of the pads and rotors should be verified to ensure continued longevity. The 2019 advisory regarding rear tyres worn to the legal limit suggests a history of reactive consumable maintenance, so checking current tread depth and alignment-related uneven wear is vital. Given the age and model, a thorough check of the air suspension system for leaks or sagging height is also essential, as these components are not covered by the standard MOT test but represent a significant failure point for this vehicle.
