2018 Land Rover Discovery GS SDV6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · YVH 7

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved three clean passes in the last three inspections. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 205,025 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. Following a failure in August 2021, the owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to pass consecutive tests without advisories regarding recurring mechanical or structural failures in the subsequent four years. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant accumulation between January 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered 16,975 miles in just over thirteen months. This consistent rate of use explains the high odometer reading, as the total distance of over 205,000 miles puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and heavy suspension components, suggesting the vehicle was likely used for long-distance transit rather than short-burst city trips. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the air suspension system and associated bushings, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Discovery models. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the sheer mileage increases the likelihood of worn control arms and shock absorbers nearing the end of their service life. You should check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and oil leaks around the engine and gearbox, as the MOT test does not detect minor fluid leaks unless they reach the ground.
