LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-14 at 95,899 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-02-13 at identical mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT records, though the absence of defects in the latest test suggests no critical failures. The maintenance trend appears stable over the past four years, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged in prior tests. However, the abrupt failure and subsequent pass within 24 hours warrant scrutiny to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,655 miles annually. Tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent intervals of 12–14 months, with mileage increasing from 63,651 to 85,937 miles. The 18-month gap between the 2024 test (85,937 miles) and the 2026 test (95,899 miles) could indicate reduced usage or infrequent inspections, though no major wear patterns are evident from the records. The lack of defects in all tests suggests the owner maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards, though this does not guarantee comprehensive mechanical health. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the records is reassuring, but a thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in the underbody could go undetected in MOT tests. The failed 2026 test, unexplained by recorded defects, necessitates a detailed pre-purchase inspection to address potential anomalies.
