2022 Land Rover Discovery Sprt Rdyn SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · A24 MAY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT activity on 2026‑01‑24 shows a failure due to nearside and offside front windscreen wipers not clearing the glass effectively (3.4(b)(ii)), despite a concurrent pass entry with no recorded defects. This indicates the car is currently not roadworthy because the wiper system requires attention. The maintenance trend is stable to slightly deteriorating: the December 2024 test already flagged inner‑tyre wear close to the legal limit (5.2.3(e)), and the wiper fault now adds a new consumable issue, suggesting basic upkeep has been inconsistent rather than improving. Mileage accumulation between the two tests is steady. The December 2024 reading of 32,664 miles rose to 41,472 miles by January 2026, a gain of 8,808 miles over roughly 13 months—approximately 8,100 miles per year. This aligns with the vehicle’s age of about four years and the advertised average of 10,368 miles annually, indicating no abnormal mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would point to hidden wear. The recurring inner‑tyre wear advisories highlight that the front and rear inner tyres have been operating near the legal tread limit. A buyer should inspect tyre tread depth, especially on the inner faces, and assess the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any excessive play or uneven wear patterns caused by the tyre wear. The wiper failure calls for a hands‑on check of the blade rubbers, arm pivots, and motor operation to confirm full functionality. Beyond the recorded faults, a thorough inspection should cover the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, the exhaust system for rust given the vehicle’s age, and the underbody for structural corrosion. Checking the steering column and suspension mounting points will reveal any developing issues that are not yet reflected in the MOT history. These checks will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle’s overall mechanical condition before purchase.
