It was almost four years after Ford's acquisition of Land Rover from BMW in April, 2004, that Land Rover introduced the Discovery 3. This was the first major update for the Discovery name since 1989 and it was well deserved; whilst being an entirely new car it retained recognisable features of the Discovery, such as the stepped roofline and steeply raked windscreen. This generation of Discovery also introduced air suspension which allowed for greater comfort both on and off-road, along with the ability to change the car's ride height at the flick of a switch, an ideal feature when traversing rocky terrain.

We would ordinarily expect Land Rovers to see a bit of rough and tumble in their daily lives and have the scars to show for it, but the late owner of this Discovery 3 must have had a particular soft spot for it, as it conceals its age very well—one would not think it twenty years old. He purchased it when it was just nine months old, and would enjoy it for nineteen of those years, bringing its mileage up to a modest total of 79,000. Finished in its attractive original colour scheme of Java Black with a Black cloth interior, the Discovery was built to TDV6 specification, denoting the use of the Ford-developed 2.7-litre turbodiesel V6, producing 195bhp. With such a strong engine and dependable mechanicals generally, we are not surprised that this Discovery is as well-preserved under the skin as it is on the surface. The vendor describes it as "excellent" in all respects, and it currently has an MOT certificate with no advisories valid until August, 2026. With that in mind, this could make an excellent tow car for an older or more specialised vehicle—there is no end to its utility.
