LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The Discovery Sport presents a largely stable maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 73,495 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The overall trajectory is one of improvement, as the last advisory noted in January 2024 has not reappeared in subsequent tests, suggesting a previous minor braking issue was rectified. A clean pass in January 2026, only five months ago, provides a high degree of confidence in the vehicle's immediate roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,350 miles per year is entirely typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, indicating consistent daily use rather than prolonged standing or abnormally high annual mileage. The recorded intervals show a steady progression, with a notable jump of approximately 9,500 miles between the January 2024 test at 57,413 miles and the January 2025 test at 66,987 miles. This slightly higher-than-average annual increment for that period does not raise immediate alarms but does imply a phase of heavier use, likely placing increased wear on consumable components like brake discs and tyres during that specific timeframe. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on the braking system. The January 2024 test flagged a front inner brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored. While this advisory cleared by the following year, a close visual inspection of the front brake discs and pads is prudent to confirm the replacement components are wearing evenly and that no binding or uneven lipping has developed since. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension advisories across the entire five-year record is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age, but a close underbody inspection for rust, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, remains essential.
