LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2015 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While it passed the most recent test in April 2026 at 111,677 miles, the tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit and noted uneven edge wear. This represents a regression from the 2024 and 2023 tests, where the vehicle presented with no recorded defects at all. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,152 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,105 miles covered between May 2024 (89,503 miles) and April 2025 (101,608 miles), followed by another 10,069-mile interval leading to the 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting, which generally benefits the engine and mechanical components by preventing fluid degradation over long periods. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and tyres, as the recurring edge wear on all four corners in 2026 and 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2025 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on the rear tyres indicates that the rubber compound is failing due to age irrespective of tread depth. Additionally, since the front brake pads were noted thin in 2022 at 74,253 miles, the current state of the discs and pads should be verified for uneven wear or thinning, given the nearly 37,000 miles driven since that warning.
