LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport with 69,522 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026 MOT test. The vehicle passed all subsequent tests from 2022 to 2026, including a 2025 test at 57,387 miles and a 2023 test at 47,343 miles. The only anomaly is a 2022 failed test at 38,625 miles, which recorded no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or misclassification. No recurring mechanical issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, indicating consistent maintenance practices. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s nine-year age, averaging approximately 7,725 miles annually. The MOT intervals show regular testing, with no significant gaps exceeding 12 months. A notable short interval between the 2022 failed test (38,625 miles) and a subsequent pass (38,629 miles) just six days later raises questions about the failed result’s validity. The absence of defects in later tests implies that any issues were resolved promptly. The vehicle’s mileage and testing frequency suggest moderate usage without excessive wear on consumables or structural components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on bushes and coil springs, as these can degrade over time without immediate warning. The exhaust system and brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny due to their susceptibility to corrosion and wear. While no advisories or failures are recorded, the 2022 failed test’s ambiguity underscores the need to verify the vehicle’s service history and ensure all prior issues were fully addressed. The absence of rust or structural concerns in the MOT records is reassuring, but a thorough undercarriage check remains advisable.
