2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · P13 NEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend despite recent intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 99,641 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just four days prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to maintain compliance, though the proximity of the two tests indicates that specific components were at the point of failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant interval of 11,363 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of 1,428 miles in the three months leading up to the March 2026 tests. This activity suggests the car is used regularly, which generally helps prevent seal degradation but places standard wear on the heavy suspension and drivetrain components common to the Land Rover Discovery Sport platform. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in December 2024 and March 2026, as the provided record does not list the specific mechanical reasons for these declines. Given the mileage and age, a close examination of the front control arm bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is essential to ensure no hidden structural corrosion remains. Check for signs of oil leaks on the underside and inspect the brake caliper movement, as the recent failures indicate that components are currently reaching the end of their service life.
