LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2016 · 2.0L Diesel

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 91,179 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 29 April 2024 at 74,239 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 29 April 2024 at 74,236 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or data-entry rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year span from May 2022 to April 2025 the vehicle cleared every effective test without advisories. Mileage accumulation sits close to typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 46,589 miles in May 2022, rising to 58,634 by May 2023, then 74,236 in April 2024, and 91,179 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 to 17,000 miles per year in the later period, slightly above the long-term average of 9,118 but not extreme. The DVSA history is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so it offers limited insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity does not confirm their condition at 91,179 miles. Land Rover platforms of this era are prone to rear subframe corrosion and front lower arm wear under mixed-use cycles. Given the 14-month gap since the last test, verify tyre tread depth, wiper function, and underbody rust in person. The repeated zero-advisory passes suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the unexplained 2024 failure warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code before purchase.
