2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · NL16 AFJ

The 2025‑02‑08 MOT at 86,428 miles confirms continued roadworthiness, with the vehicle passing without any recorded defects. The consecutive passes from 2021 through 2025 indicate a stable maintenance record, showing no evidence of worsening or improving mechanical condition. The mileage trajectory reflects typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Discovery Sport, rising from 63,218 miles in August 2021 to 86,428 miles by February 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 8,600 miles. No significant periods of stagnation appear, as each annual test covers a comparable mileage increment, suggesting consistent use and regular servicing, and the most recent test is sufficiently recent to reflect current condition. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, as these components commonly degrade with age despite the clean MOT outcome. The brake system should be examined for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and pad thickness, given the vehicle’s mileage and the age of the braking components, and tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit attention as consumable wear items that may have been neglected. Finally, the chassis and structural integrity should be scrutinised for rust on the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, while the exhaust system must be checked for corrosion and compliance with the MOT‑approved emission limits; the timing chain tensioner and drivetrain mounts, though not flagged, merit a visual assessment given the vehicle’s ten‑year lifespan.
