LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-22 assessment at 60,001 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained relative to its age and mileage, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,667 miles annually. From 34,297 miles in 2021 to 60,001 in 2025, the increase shows steady accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. A 12-month gap between the 2021-08-27 test (34,297 miles) and 2022-08-17 (43,068 miles) suggests possible reduced usage or infrequent MOT renewals, but the subsequent tests confirm regular compliance. This pattern implies the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage use. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, a buyer should verify suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without triggering MOT alerts. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should also be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Structural corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or underbody, warrants scrutiny, as it often progresses unnoticed. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate these risks, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond MOT records.
