2019 Land Rover Discovery Landmark Sd4 Auto

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Landmark Sd4 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Land Rover Discovery Landmark SD4 Auto passes its MOT first time 86.4% of the time, which is a solid 6.4 percentage points above the UK average—a genuinely reassuring figure for a large diesel SUV of this age. However, 21.4% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, putting it just above the concern threshold and worth checking the full service history before purchase.

At 42,988 miles average for a five-year-old model, these Discovery owners are running their vehicles conservatively, which aligns with the low failure rate of 0.62 per car. The real story is the advisory count: 3.9 per vehicle signals that while major faults are rare, minor wear items and small niggles crop up regularly—typical for a complex diesel SUV—so budget for preventative maintenance and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the suspension, cooling system, and fuel injectors before committing.

What to check before buying a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Landmark Sd4 Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 21.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
