2015 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2.2L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-04 confirms it passed without defects, though it was retested just two days earlier after a failure on 2025-09-02—despite identical mileage of 129,900 miles. This retest suggests either a minor procedural oversight or a last-minute correction, but no recurring faults are documented in the past five tests. The absence of advisories or defects across all entries indicates no obvious mechanical trends, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test is just under a year old, which is acceptable for a vehicle of this age, though a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify components not routinely checked in MOTs. The recorded mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 11,809 miles per year—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 7,902 miles between 2024-09-03 and 2025-09-04. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect or excessive wear. However, the lack of detailed maintenance logs means potential issues like fluid changes, suspension servicing, or drivetrain inspections cannot be confirmed from the MOT record alone. Given the absence of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested in MOTs. Focus on the suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these are prone to degradation without regular servicing. The braking system, including rear calipers, brake discs, and hydraulic lines, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system warrants inspection for leaks or corrosion, especially around joints and underbody mounts. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for signs of rust or frame damage, as these are critical but not always visible without close scrutiny.
