2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · R111 ACA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 at 127,289 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. Previous tests from 2025-11-04 (121,163 miles) and 2024-11-14 (107,300 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-11-13 at 107,282 miles recorded no defects. This suggests the car has consistently met roadworthiness standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the last three years. The lack of advisories or critical failures implies the previous owner maintained the vehicle to acceptable levels, though the high mileage raises questions about long-term component wear. The car’s mileage of 127,289 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 12,729 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. A significant jump from 88,474 miles in 2023 to 107,300 miles by 2024-11-14—over 18,800 miles in 14 months—indicates heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The 2024-11-13 failed test occurred just a day before a passing inspection at nearly identical mileage, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor, unresolved issue. The MOT history lacks gaps, reflecting regular testing but offering no insight into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to gradual degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for leaks or rust, common in older SUVs. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the combination of high annual mileage and the 2024 failed test—despite no recorded defects—warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
