2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · DU67 AEN

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with a tendency toward recurring consumable failures. While the most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 55,798 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle initially failed due to a non-functional offside rear fog lamp and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a similar pattern of tyre issues and brake component wear seen in previous years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a low-usage vehicle, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 20,195 miles in September 2020 to 55,798 miles in September 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway use, which often correlates with less frequent mechanical wear, though the MOT history indicates that even at these lower distances, certain components are reaching the end of their service life prematurely. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. The record shows a persistent trend of worn or pitted brake discs and thinning pads, specifically noted in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The 2024 test at 50,367 miles also flagged a minor exhaust gas leak from the central front exhaust DPF, which warrants a check for any signs of further exhaust system degradation or emissions issues. Recurring advisories regarding tyres being worn on the edges, noted in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, suggest potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. I recommend a professional inspection of the suspension bushes and tracking to ensure the vehicle does not continue to prematurely consume tyres. The history of water ingress in the rear fog lamp in 2020 also suggests checking the integrity of the rear light clusters for any signs of moisture or electrical corrosion.
