2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · D16 EDM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend characterized by a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 75,625 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester identified slight corrosion on the ferrules of both nearside and offside rear brake hoses. This indicates the beginning of surface degradation on rubber components that does not yet pose an immediate failure risk but requires monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in just fourteen months. However, the usage has moderated since then, with 6,160 miles recorded between the September 2024 and the January 2026 tests. This suggests a period of more intensive use, which is generally beneficial for the complex electronic and suspension systems of the Land Rover Discovery Sport platform. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake system to ensure the corrosion noted in January 2026 has not progressed into structural thinning of the hoses. Given the clean-record periods between 2020 and 2024, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the buyer should still check the air suspension components or bushings for wear, as are common at this mileage. The history shows no structural integrity failures or recurring mechanical defects, suggesting a straightforward history of ownership.
