2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · EF68 AEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 14 November 2025 at 76,076 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful repairs. The car failed the November 2025 test but passed later on the same day with no defects recorded, suggesting that minor, easily rectified issues were identified and addressed quickly rather than representing deep-seated mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 17,367 miles recorded between March 2024 at 55,119 miles and April 2025 at 72,471 miles, indicating a period of higher usage during that interval. However, the period between April 2025 and November 2025 shows more frequent testing, with a failure occurring in March at 71,970 miles followed by a pass in April just 500 miles later. This suggests the vehicle was being driven shorter distances during those specific months. While the recent history shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components. Given the Discovery Sport's weight, checking the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of wear is essential, as these are common points of failure on this model. The buyer should also inspect the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag these items despite the intermittent test failures in 2025.
