2016 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 with 154,643 miles and no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in the two years preceding that date. While the vehicle failed a test on 11 December 2023 at 128,078 miles, the immediate retest success indicates that the identified faults were rectified promptly before subsequent annual inspections. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,500 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage occurred between December 2022 and December 2023, where the vehicle covered over 28,000 miles in a single year. The rate of accumulation slowed slightly to roughly 20,000 miles annually between 2023 and 2025. This high mileage suggests consistent motorway or heavy use, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and bushings, given the high mileage and the inherent demands of the Discovery Sport platform. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age, so a physical check for weeping shock absorbers or play in the control arms is necessary. Check for any signs of brake caliper binding or thinning of the discs, as the MOT test does not capture gradual component wear until they reach a failure threshold.
