LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT R-DYN HSE D A2020 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 54,914 miles resulted in a pass with minor observations, following a failure just five months prior. While the current status is stable, the sharp decline in February 2025 suggests that the previous owner neglected critical safety-related items until they reached the point of legal failure. At 54,914 miles over six years, the Discovery Sport has averaged approximately 9,152 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a modern SUV. The data shows a significant spike in usage between February 2023 (22,772 miles) and February 2024 (39,236 miles), covering over 16,000 miles in a single year. This period of heavy driving followed by the 3,300 miles driven prior to February 2025 likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the suspension and braking components. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the nearside shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting since at least February 2024 at 39,236 miles. This condition has persisted through the 2025 tests, indicating a seal that is failing and will eventually require a full damper replacement. Furthermore, the February 2025 failure for both front and rear brake pads being under 1.5mm demonstrates that the braking system was run to exhaustion. You should verify the current condition of the brake discs for scoring or thinning to ensure they were not damaged when the pads wore down.
